Lherzolite conference field trip to Cabo Ortegal

As a co-organizer of the 7th Lherzolite Conference in Oviedo, Asturias, I have the pleasure to lead the field trip to the mantle section of the Cabo Ortegal Complex, which was my PhD locality in Galicia, Spain, as part of the 2-day pre-conference excursion.

Europium anomalies kinetically developed without plagioclase

We found the first natural evidence of kinetic Eu anomalies caused by melt-induced diffusion in mantle peridotite clinopyroxene. Such anomalies are classically regarded as a “ghost plagioclase” signature in oceanic basalts and widely used as a proxy for the presence of recycled oceanic crust in their mantle source. They can in fact be explained ... Read more 27 Feb 2023 - less than 1 minute read

Invited review on Hf-Nd isotopes

The idea behind this work is to propose a global review in the context of all published Hf- and Nd-isotope data in mantle rocks motivated by the lack of such an exhaustive compilation despite the increasing body of data published over the last 20 years (> 1100 combined Hf-Nd analyses; Fig. 1). Fig. 1. Present-day Hf- and Nd-isotope comp... Read more 03 Sep 2022 - less than 1 minute read
