Basaltic volcanism'samples' the Earth's mantle to great depths, because solid-state
convection transports deep material into the (shallow) melting region. The isotopic and trace …

Ubiquitous heterogeneity in the Earth's mantle has been documented by numerous
chemical and isotopic analyses of oceanic basalts. Despite the ever-increasing amount of …

This textbook is a complete rewrite, and expansion of Hugh Rollinson's highly successful
1993 book Using Geochemical Data: Evaluation, Presentation, Interpretation. Rollinson and …

Carbonate, the major carbon reservoir on Earth's surface, can enter into the mantle by
subduction. However, evidence for recycled surficial carbonates in the deep mantle is still …

▪ Abstract The Re-Os isotope sytem, based on the long-lived β− transition of 187Re to
187Os, has matured to wide use in cosmochemistry and high-temperature geochemistry …

A relativelyhigh-temperature oxidizing digestion using aqua regia has been developed for<
0.1-5gsize samples of various types of rocks including silicates, sulfides, and metals prior to …

This chapter summarizes the oxygen isotope geochemistry of terrestrial basalts and their
mantle sources, including the conceptual framework for interpreting such data and the …

Most diamonds are metasomatic minerals, which means they grew from fluids or melts that
moved through solid mantle rocks and chemically interacted with them. The involvement of …

The parameter μ describes the 238U/204Pb ratio of an Earth reservoir. Mantle domains
labeled HIMU (high μ) originally defined reservoirs with highly radiogenic Pb isotope ratios …

Dehydration experiments on natural amphibolite have been carried out under upper mantle
P/T conditions, in order to examine transportation of trace elements during dehydration …
