basic research needs workshop for Materials Under Extreme Environments Plenary Closing Session June 13, 2007 BREAKOUT SESSION 2: DEEP CARBON FLUXES What are the key unanswered questions?  What are abundances and chemical states with depth of key species in the mantle? Carbon (COx, graphite, recycled from surface, other?), related species (Fe, H, Nb, redox state [fO2], 3He)  What is the nature of the major processes that deliver carbon toward the surface? Under MOR? OI? Arc? Fore-arcs? Back-arcs?  How do vertical fluxes vary over various timescales? Modern fluxes versus longer timescales. Tectonics variations over deep time (spreading rates, geothermal gradient, etc).  MOR: how do C fluxes vary along the ridges (80 to 90 percent of global magma production today)?  OI: Present versus past fluxes (episodicity)? Overall long-term fluxes?  Subduction zones: C budget wrt to re-injection vs loss to surface (effect of C species, carbonitized basalt vs sedimentary C, slab PvsT trajectories [wrt plate age, long-term changes, etc.])  Flux methodology: C/3He C/Nb

basic research needs workshop for Materials Under Extreme Environments Plenary Closing Session June 13, 2007 Where do we want to be in 10 years?  Improved quantitative understanding of modern mantle effluxes in MOR, OI, arcs, continents (magnitudes, geographic variations)  Improved quantitative understanding of modern influxes in arcs, continents (chemical states of C, magnitudes, geographic variations)  Variations of fluxes over time (Holocene)  Relationships between heat flow and C fluxes (modern)  Chemical states of C in upper mantle

basic research needs workshop for Materials Under Extreme Environments Plenary Closing Session June 13, 2007  Carbon partitioning between mantle and core (experiments at relevant T, P, fO2 and compositions)  Carbon partitioning associated with formation of melts and volatile fluids (MOR, subduction zones)  Nanoscale observations of experimental samples and specific field samples (e.g., melt inclusions, etc.)  Basalt carbonatization  Instruments for remote sensing, deep sea platforms What do we need to do to get there: Experiments and new instrumentation?
