Application of noble gas isotopic systems to identify mantle heterogeneities

This study addresses the origin of the combined He-Ne-Ar-Xe noble gas isotopic variation in mantle derived oceanic basalts. High precision heavy noble gas compositions of basalts from the Rochambeau Rift along the Northwestern Lau Basin, the Gakkel Ridge, the Southeast Indian Ridge and the South Atl...
