Séminaire David Bekaert – Analysis of volatile elements in volcanic and hydrothermal systems: a reliable window into the solid Earth’s composition?
The geochemical composition of volatile elements (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen) in mantle-derived gases holds important clues about the origin of Earth’s volatiles and their cycling between terrestrial reservoirs (i.e., atmosphere, mantle, crust). CO2-rich hydrothermal systems (e.g., bubbling hot springs) are ubiquitous throughout the world, in principle offering an opportunity to explore volatile element systematics within…
