Mantle Xenon has a story to tell about the history of volatile cycling

A new paper detailing how xenon isotopes remember the history of volatile recycling is out today in Nature: Xenon isotopic constraints on the history of volatile recycling into the mantle by Rita Parai and Sujoy Mukhopadhyay. See some perspectives of the paper in the UC Davis press release and Physics Today

Challenging ideas of deep Earth’s behavior and formation

Check out our paper in Nature on Early differentiation and volatile accretion recorded in deep-mantle neon and xenon. The paper presents evidence that the plume and MORB sources had differentiated within the first 100 million years and has not been homogenized since. This results provides new insights into the Earth's early history, volatile accretion, mantle [...]
