This is particularly important in subduction zone settings where complex interactions between the subducting plate, mantle wedge and arc crust cannot yet be measured by alternative methods.The Sunda Arc, in SE Asia, provides an ideal opportunity to study the effects of subduction in a complex tectonic setting where the basement is poorly exposed and understood. However, in order to do so, magma compositions modified during differentiation in the arc crust must be effectively distinguished from those modified at the source. This study included a detailed major- and trace element and isotopic (Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb) examination of volcanoes from West Java, Central Java, East Java and Bali.
