Subduction zone fluids are the key carrier for element migration and matter cycles between the crust and mantle of the Earth. Interpreting the sources, properties and signatures of fluids has significant implications for unveiling crucial geochemical issues, such as the interaction between crust and mantle, and the long-term evolution in deep Earth.
