Popis: The enrichment of boron relative to similarly incompatible elements, such as Be, in arc volcanic rocks has been used as a proxy for the involvement of slab flux in petrogenesis. New ion microprobe analyses of single glass shards in tephra layers recovered by the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) in the Izu and NE Japan forearc basins now allow the temporal variation in slab flux to be charted since 7 and 5 Ma, respectively. B/Be ratios are typically
