1. Processes and consequences of deep subduction: introduction (D.C. Rubie, R.D. van der Hilst). 2. Subduction zones: observations and geodynamic models (S.D. King). 3. Geodynamic models of deep subduction (U. Christensen). 4. Seismic discontinuities and subduction zones (J.D. Collier, G.R. Helffrich, B.J. Wood). 5.

Rheological structure and deformation of subducted slabs in the mantle transition zone: implications for mantle circulation and deep earthquakes (S.-i. Karato, M.R. Riedel, D.A. Yuen). 8. "Detached" deep earthquakes: are they really? (E.A. Okal). 9. Seismological constraints on the mechanism of deep earthquakes: temperature dependence of deep earthquake source properties (D.A. Wiens). 10. Experimental constraints on the depth of olivine metastability in subducting lithosphere (J.L. Mosenfelder, F.C. Marton, C.R. Ross II, L. Kerschhofer, D.C. Rubie). 11. Stabilities and equations of state of dense hydrous magnesium silicates (R.J. Angel, D.J. Frost, N.L. Ross, R. Hemley). 12. Seismological structure of subduction zones and its implications for arc magmatism and dynamics (D. Zhao). 13. Partial melting in the mantle wedge - the role of H 2 0 in the genesis of mantle-derived 'arc-related' magmas (P. Ulmer). 14. Boron isotope geochemistry of metasedimentary rocks and tourmalines in a subduction zone metamorphic suite (T. Nakano, E. Nakamura). 15. Subduction, ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism, and regurgitation of buoyant crustal slices - implications for arcs and continental growth (W.G. Ernst). 16. Subduction followed by collision: Alpine and Himalayan examples (P.J.
