Long-term carbon cycling is a subject of recent controversy as new mass balance calculations suggestthat most carbon is transferred from the slab to the mantle wedge by fluids during subduction,limiting the efficiency of carbon recycling to the deep mantle. Here, we examine the large scale mobilityo...
