What is the role of Subduction in Deep Earth Volatile Cycles? Marc Hirschmann University of Minnesota

Earth’s Deep Volatile Cycles Hydrogen Carbon (diagram courtesy of J Phipps-Morgan)

Influence of Modern Tectonics on Deep Earth Volatile Cycles Possibilities: 1. Net Outgassing 2. Net Ingassing 3. Quasi-steady state

Miller et al., Science 2005 Phanerozoic sea level variation H 2 O must be near steady state

Kerridge, 1985; Robert+Merlivat, 1979; McNaughton et al. 1981; Grady et al., 1989; Javoy, 1998 H/C Ratios of Chondritic Meteorites

H/C ratio of the mantle: Evidence from undegassed basalts

Simple Model for H and C in the Bulk Silicate Earth (BSE) H/C of exosphere=1.95±0.15 H/C of MORB source=0.75±0.25 H/C of OIB source=0.5±0.3 H 2 O in MORB source=100±50 ppm H 2 O in OIB source=600±300 ppm OIB source=10 to 70% of mantle No hidden volatile-rich reservoirs Sum these in a Monte Carlo simulation to give H/C of the mantle and the BSE.

H/C ratio of the mantle

H/C ratio of the Bulk Silicate Earth

H/C ratios of principal Earth and cosmochemical materials

Why is the H/C Ratio of the Exosphere Much Greater than the Mantle H/C Ratio? Volcanic outgassing has the opposite effect (C outgassing >H outgassing ) Loss of volatiles to space has the opposite effect (C escape <H escape ) *Preferential Subduction of Carbon *Remnant of events in Deep Time - Loss of massive CO 2- rich atmosphere - Retention of C during magma ocean degassing - Early massive return of C to mantle

Dasgupta et al. (2004)

Evolution of exosphere by preferential subduction of C (Total H subducted, C/H ratio of subducted mass)

Evolution of exosphere by preferential Subduction of C

carbonates organic carbon Hayes and Waldbauer, 2006 mantle

The exosphere carbon reservoir is dominated by continental sediments…… …and so the surface carbon reservoir grows with the continents. Veizer and Mackenzie, 2004 Age distribution of present-day continental sediments

H/C evolution of the Exosphere (?)

Zahnle et al. 2007

Sleep and Zahnle, 2001 Impact Ejecta (lunar glass beads) (highly susceptible to reaction with atmospheric CO 2 )

H/C evolution of the Exosphere

Carbon may not be subductable in early, hot subduction zones
