Using garnet to constrain the duration and rate of water-releasing metamorphic reactions during subduction: An example from Sifnos, Greece

We present a method to reconstruct the dehydration flux associated with garnet-forming reactions during subduction. Garnet-bearing blueschists from the island of Sifnos, Greece, in the Attic–Cycladic Blueschist Belt are used as a test case to extract information on the timescales of dehydration duri...
