New Paper on car­bon-sil­i­con cycling in hadal trench sed­i­ment

revealed from a new study using materials collected during IODP Expedition 386 in the Japan Trench published in Geology

This study documents that rapid burial of relatively labile organic carbon resulting from subduction earthquakes triggers organic carbon and methane turnover at rates comparable to those in continental margin sediments, thereby stimulating active silicate weathering and authigenic carbonate formation
