Abstract
The isotope compositions of Sr, Pb and, more recently, Nd have been widely used in the study of magmatic processes along destructive plate margins. Empirically they may help to resolve whether particular magmatic associations are related to one another, but their real potential lies in the detection of different components which may contribute to magmas in this tectonic environment.
