Carbon fluxes and primary magma CO2 contents along the global mid-ocean ridge system
- Abstract:
-
The concentration of carbon in primary mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), and the associated fluxes of CO2 outgassed at ocean ridges, is examined through new data obtained by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) on 753 globally-distributed MORB glasses. MORB glasses are typically 80-90% degassed of CO2, thus we use the limited range in CO2/Ba (81.3±23) and CO2/Rb (991±129), derived from undegassed MORB and MORB melt inclusions, to estimate primary CO2 concentrations for ridges that have Ba an...
