Abstract Rift zones, both on land and submarine, are key pathways for mantle‐derived CO2 degassing to the Earth's surface. Fixation of CO2 as carbonates plays a critical role in regulating these emissions. This study examines carbon abundance and isotope compositions in hydrothermal fluids, altered rocks, and carbonates from geothermal systems in both ...

Abstract This research represents the most extensive characterisation of Roman mosaic tesserae (tiles) from Aquileia, Italy, to date, examining 153 specimens. The study aimed to identify the lithotypes used in mosaics production through a multi‐analytical approach, which included colorimetric analysis, polarised light microscopy and scanning electron ...
