Mantle and crustal controls on the distribution of chalcophile elements in silicate melts
In silicate melts, sulfur-loving chalcophile and siderophile elements (collectively termed CSE) are an important suite of elements both in terms of their economic importance (e.g., porphyry Cu deposits) and use as petrogenetic ... -
Nominally volatile-free mantle minerals: a reservoir for water and fluorine in the Kaapvaal Craton
The extent to which Earth’s sub-cratonic lithospheric mantle acts as a major repository for volatile elements is poorly constrained. This study presents the first systematic investigation into water, fluorine and chlorine ... -
Microanalytical Constraints on the Geometry and Chemical Evolution of Kīlauea’s Volcanic Plumbing System
Kīlauea Volcano is an outstanding natural laboratory in which to investigate basaltic volcanism, owing to over a century of extensive study. In the last decade, there has been a paradigm shift in our understanding of ... -
A Multi-Archive Reconstruction of Holocene Summer and Winter Monsoon Variability in NW South Asia
