Subducting seafloor anomalies promote porphyry copper emplacement
“With copper demand projected to increase by 350% by 2050 for renewable energy and electric vehicles, understanding the formation of porphyry copper deposits is critical. We …
Understanding the deep-time tectonic carbon cycle by linking thermodynamic and plate tectonic models
This talk examines the deep-time tectonic carbon cycle by linking thermodynamic models of carbon storage and release with global plate tectonic reconstructions. We quantify carbon …
Subducting seafloor anomalies promote porphyry copper emplacement
“Porphyry copper deposits are critical for the energy transition, yet no significant discoveries have been made in the last decade. We investigate how subducting seafloor …
Water in the mantle
Subducting slabs transport water deep into the mantle, where it is stored within minerals such as ringwoodite and wadsleyite in the mantle transition zone. We predict the influx of …

An Early Cretaceous subduction-modified mantle underneath the ultraslow spreading Gakkel Ridge, Arctic Ocean
Seafloor lavas from the ultraslow Gakkel Ridge preserve geochemical signatures of an Early Cretaceous subduction zone, revealing ancient mantle heterogeneity beneath the Arctic …
Integrating geophysical observations with tectonic plate reconstructions
This talk presents an overview of research integrating geophysical and geochemical observations with tectonic plate reconstructions to produce data-driven studies of Earth …
The Role of Stagnant Slabs at the Transition Zone on Widespread Volcanism in Eastern Australia and Zealandia
Intraplate volcanism triggered by the release of subducted volatiles during bursts in slab flux
