Incipient rifting accompanied by the release of subcontinental lithospheric mantle volatiles in the Magadi and Natron basin, East Africa
Leea, Hyunwoo; Fischera, Tobias P.; Muirhead, James D.; Ebinger, Cynthia J.; Kattenhorn, Simon A.; Sharp, Zachary D; Takahata, Naoto; Yuji, Sanof; Kianji, Gladys (University of Nairobi, 2017)Geochemical investigations of volatiles in hydrothermal systems are used to understand heat sources and subsurface processes occurring at volcanic-tectonic settings. This study reports new results of gas chemistry and ... -
Massive and prolonged deep carbon emissions associated with continental rifting
Lee, Hyunwoo; Muirhead, James D.; Fischer, Tobias P.; Ebinger, Cynthia J.; Kattenhorn, Simon A.; Sharp, Zachary D.; Kianji, Gladys (University of Nairobi, 2016)Carbon from Earth’s interior is thought to be released to the atmosphere mostly via degassing of CO2 from active volcanoes1, 2, 3, 4. CO2 can also escape along faults away from active volcanic centres, but such tectonic ...
