Abstract:<p>Studying the isotopic composition of fluids trapped in mantle xenoliths opens avenues to understanding the origin and cycling of volatiles in the Earth&#8217;s upper mantle. Here, we present the first isotopic results for noble gases and CO<sub>2</sub> in fluid inclusions (FI) trapped in mantle xenoliths from El Hierro the youngest island of the Canarian archipelago. Our results are based on 6 mantle xenolith samples (3 Spinel-lherzolites and 3 Spinel-harzbu… Show more
