Decarbonation of subducting carbonate-bearing sediments and basalts of altered oceanic crust: Insights into recycling of CO2 through volcanic arcs (2022)
Journal Article
Arzilli, F., Burton, M., La Spina, G., Macpherson, C. G., van Keken, P. E., & McCann, J. (2023). Decarbonation of subducting carbonate-bearing sediments and basalts of altered oceanic crust: Insights into recycling of CO2 through volcanic arcs. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 602, Article 117945. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2022.117945

The geological carbon cycle has played a key role in controlling climate throughout Earth's history. For the last ∼3 billion years plate tectonics has driven subduction. Subducted slabs have transported CO2 from the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmo...

Origin and evolution of the slab fluids since subduction inception in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana: A comparison with the southeast Mariana fore-arc rift (2022)
Journal Article
Ribeiro, J., MacLeod, C., Lissenberg, J., Ryan, J., & Macpherson, C. (2022). Origin and evolution of the slab fluids since subduction inception in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana: A comparison with the southeast Mariana fore-arc rift. Chemical Geology, 601, Article 120813. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2022.120813

Subduction zones have played a central role in exchanging volatiles (H2O, CO2, S, halogens) between the different Earth's reservoirs throughout its history. Fluids that are released as the subducted plates dehydrate are major agents that transfer the...

The Principles of Helium Exploration (2022)
Journal Article
Danabalan, D., Gluyas, J. G., Macpherson, C. G., Abraham-James, T. H., Bluett, J. J., Barry, P. H., & Ballentine, C. J. (2022). The Principles of Helium Exploration. Petroleum Geoscience, 28(2), petgeo2021-029. https://doi.org/10.1144/petgeo2021-029

Commercial helium systems have been found to date as a serendipitous by-product of petroleum exploration. There are nevertheless significant differences in the source and migration properties of helium compared with petroleum. An understanding of the...
