Journal ArticleDOI
Helium isotopic systematics of oceanic islands and mantle heterogeneity
TL;DR: In this article, the results of helium isotopic analyses in basaltic phenocrysts from the islands of Gough and Tristan da Cunha were reported and compared to mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB).
Journal ArticleDOI
Constraints on evolution of Earth's mantle from rare gas systematics
TL;DR: Analyses of the isotopic composition of He, Ar and Xe in a suite of glasses from the mid-ocean ridges and from the island of Hawaii showed that the Hawaiian samples have systematically lower 4He/3He, 40Ar/36Ar and 129Xe/130Xe ratios than the mid ocean ridge basalts as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recycled metasomatized lithosphere as the origin of the Enriched Mantle II (EM2) end‐member: Evidence from the Samoan Volcanic Chain
R. Workman,Stanley R. Hart,Matthew G. Jackson,Marcel Regelous,Kenneth A. Farley,Jerzy S. Blusztajn,Mark D. Kurz,Hubert Staudigel +7 more
TL;DR: An in-depth analysis of the EMII-defining Samoan hot spot lavas leads to a new working hypothesis for the origin of this high 87Sr/86Sr mantle end-member as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Helium isotopic variations in volcanic rocks from Loihi Seamount and the Island of Hawaii
TL;DR: In this article, a suite of 15 basaltic glasses from the Loihi Seamount were measured and the 3He/4He ratios were found to be up to four times higher than those of MORB glasses and more than twice those of nearby Kilauea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examination of surface exposure ages of Antarctic moraines using in situ produced 10Be and 26Al
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used accelerator mass spectrometers (AMS) to determine the 10Be and 26Al isotopes in a suite of sandstone boulders in several moraines in Arena Valley, a dry valley adjacent to the Taylor Glacier in the Quatermain Mountains, Southern Victoria Land, East Antarctica.
