A hidden carbon cycle exists inside Earth. Every year, megatons of carbon disappear into
subduction zones, affecting atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen over Earth's history …

Concealed deep beneath the oceans is a carbon conveyor belt, propelled by plate tectonics.
Our understanding of its modern functioning is underpinned by direct observations, but its …

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

Volatile elements (water, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, halogens, and noble gases) played an
essential role in the secular evolution of the solid Earth and emergence of life. Here we …

The flux balances of carbon and chlorine between subduction into the deep mantle and
volcanic emissions into the atmosphere are crucial for the habitability of our planet …

Earth's deep carbon cycle affects atmospheric CO2, climate, and habitability. Owing to the
extreme solubility of CaCO3, aqueous fluids released from the subducting slab could extract …

This chapter is devoted to the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope compositions of terrestrial
diamonds with a strong focus on monocrystalline diamonds formed in Earth's mantle. The …

Perhaps the first point to address in this chapter is what role, or roles, experimental petrology
can play in understanding the formation of natural diamond. As can be seen from the other …

Subduction related to the ancient supercontinent cycle is poorly constrained by mantle
samples. Sublithospheric diamond crystallization records the release of melts from …

Long-lived, widespread intraplate volcanism without age progression is one of the most
controversial features of plate tectonics. Previously proposed edge-driven convection …
