This has implications for volcanic gas emissions and therefore Earth’s long-term climate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af22a869d5abbb27ab29835/1529426471661-1N5Q6N8M8Z1AVUL730ML/Duncan%26Dasgupta_natgeoimage.jpg ExPeRT Photos - Carbon Subduction Zone Cycling Research Megan Duncan published her work on cycling organic carbon through subduction zones where one plate slides beneath another, melts, and releases gases back into the atmosphere via volcanoes.
