Abstract: | Volatile element, major and trace element compositions were measured in glass inclusions in olivine from samples across the
Kamchatka arc. Glasses were analyzed in reheated melt inclusions by electron microprobe for major elements, S and Cl, trace
elements and F were determined by SIMS. Volatile element–trace element ratios correlated with fluid-mobile elements (B, Li)
suggesting successive changes and three distinct fluid compositions with increasing slab depth. The Eastern Volcanic arc Front
(EVF) was dominated by fluid highly enriched in B, Cl and chalcophile elements and also LILE (U, Th, Ba, Pb), F, S and LREE
(La, Ce). This arc-front fluid contributed less to magmas from the central volcanic zone and was not involved in back arc
magmatism. The Central Kamchatka Depression (CKD) was dominated by a second fluid enriched in S and U, showing the highest
S/K2O and U/Th ratios. Additionally this fluid was unusually enriched in 87Sr and 18O. In the back arc Sredinny Ridge (SR) a third fluid was observed, highly enriched in F, Li, and Be as well as LILE and LREE.
We argue from the decoupling of B and Li that dehydration of different water-rich minerals at different depths explains the
presence of different fluids across the Kamchatka arc. In the arc front, fluids were derived from amphibole and serpentine
dehydration and probably were water-rich, low in silica and high in B, LILE, sulfur and chlorine. Large amounts of water produced
high degrees of melting below the EVF and CKD. Fluids below the CKD were released at a depth between 100 and 200 km due to
dehydration of lawsonite and phengite and probably were poorer in water and richer in silica. Fluids released at high pressure
conditions below the back arc (SR) probably were much denser and dissolved significant amounts of silicate minerals, and potentially
carried high amounts of LILE and HFSE.
