Beyond Oxygen Fugacity: A Compositional Metric to Probe Earth's Redox Structure
Abstract We quantify the redox capacity (dO2) by redox titration—defined as the quantity of oxygen required to fully oxidize a sample—for rocks spanning Earth's upper mantle to surface sediments. The values span three orders of magnitude, with the greatest variability in metamorphic and surface rocks that host both highly reduced (rich in carbon and ...

Mineralogy and composition of Archean Crust, Greenland: A pilot study [PDF]
The Portable Instant Display and Analysis Spectrometer (PIDAS) was taken to southwestern Greenland to investigate in situ the potential application of AVIRIS to estimate the mineralogy and composition of rocks exposed in Archean terranes. The goal was to

Abstract The Newer Volcanic Province (NVP) in southeastern Australia is a classic example of continental intraplate volcanism located far from a plate boundary, yet the configuration of its magma plumbing system remains unclear. Using three‐dimensional (3D) magnetotelluric (MT) inversion, we imaged a vertically continuous, trans‐lithospheric conductive

The Bracco chromitites are hosted in the Mesozoic Ligurian Ophiolites (Italy) and provide key insights into the magmatic and post-magmatic (i.e. metamorphic and hydrothermal) evolution ofgabbro-hosted chromitites in an oceanic mantle.

Zircon grains from various metagranitoids (plagio- and monzo-granites, gneisses, metasomatic rocks, and pegmatoid veins) from the Skal’noe and Dikoe sites of the Litsa uranium ore area (Kola Region, Russia) were studied in order to reconstruct the ...

Eclogitic metatrondhjemites from metaophiolites of the Western Alps [PDF]
In the Urtier valley (southern Aosta Valley, Italy), the Piemonte metaophiolites mainly consist of serpentinized peridotites including pods and boudinaged layers of Fe-metagabbro and trondhjemite transposed in the main eclogitic foliation.

The Buoyancy of Cratonic Lithospheric Mantle
Abstract Cratons are generally thought to be characterized by stable, long‐lived mantle roots. However, recent studies have suggested that the lithospheric mantle may be prone to removal, implying that it may be denser than the asthenosphere. To address these suggestions, we use a global data set of mantle xenoliths to estimate the density structure of

A major element, PGE and Re-Os isotope study of Middle Atlas (Morocco) peridotite xenoliths : evidence for coupled introduction of metasomatic sulphides and clinopyroxene [PDF]
We present major element and PGE (platinum-group-element) abundances in addition to Re–Os isotope data for 11 spinel-facies whole rock peridotites from a single maar from the Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco.

Abstract Subduction zones regulate Earth's carbon distribution, yet the mechanism of carbon transfer from continental crust to mantle remains elusive. We examined an eclogite‐garnet peridotite interface from the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling Program in the Sulu orogen, representing the slab–mantle wedge boundary formed during continental ...
