The study of volatiles in both subaerial and submarine terrestrial samples is central to understanding the compositions of, and interactions between, the mantle-crust-atmosphere system. This dissertation focuses on the origin, transport and behavior of noble gases at four different geologic settings - a) the San Andreas Fault Zone (SAFZ), a transform plate boundary, b) the Costa Rica margin, a convergent plate boundary, c) Iceland, a ridge-centered hotspot, and d) the Central Indian Ridge, a mid-ocean ridge segment near an off-axis hotspot. Following a brief introduction to the utility of noble gases as geochemical tracers (Chapter I), the helium characteristics of submarine fluid seepage in a strike-slip setting associated with the SAFZ are discussed in Chapter II. Cold seep sites at Extrovert Cliff (Monterey Bay) were chosen for deployment of submarine flux meters and continuous sampling of fluids over several weeks. We assess the origin of dissolved noble gases in the seep fluids, and determine the cause of any temporal variations of the volatile characteristics. Chapter III focuses on the He-CO2 isotope and abundance systematics of submarine cold seep fluids emanating at the Costa Rica fore-arc. We evaluate the origin of dissolved helium and carbon in the fluids, and we estimate the total flux of carbon through fluid venting at mound structures at the fore-arc in order to better constrain the carbon mass balance for the Central America convergent margin. Chapter IV examines the He-Ne systematics of geothermal fluids and the He-Ne-Ar isotope and relative abundance characteristics of subglacial glasses from the neovolcanic zones and older parts of the crust in Iceland. We investigate the processes contributing to the apparent decoupling of the He and Ne isotope systematics observed previously on the Reykjanes Peninsula and question whether this phenomenon is common to other parts of the neovolcanic zones. Chapter V investigates the postulated interaction between the Central Indian Ridge (CIR) and the Réunion hotspot, located ~1100 km off-axis to the west. The CIR passed over the hotspot 34 Ma ago, and the goal of this study is to test if CIR basalts still record a Réunion-like helium isotope signature.

There are eight columns in the Periodic Table. The eighth column is comprised of the rare gases, so-called because they are the rarest elements on earth. They are also called the inert or noble gases because, like nobility, they do no work. They are colorless, odorless, invisible gases which do not react with anything, and were thought to be unimportant until the early 1960s. Starting in that era, David Fisher has spent roughly fifty years doing research on these gases, publishing nearly a hundred papers in the scientific journals, applying them to problems in geophysics and cosmochemistry, and learning how other scientists have utilized them to change our ideas about the universe, the sun, and our own planet. Much Ado about (Practically) Nothing will cover this spectrum of ideas, interspersed with the author's own work which will serve to introduce each gas and the important work others have done with them. The rare gases have participated in a wide range of scientific advances-even revolutions-but no book has ever recorded the entire story. Fisher will range from the intricacies of the atomic nucleus and the tiniest of elementary particles, the neutrino, to the energy source of the stars; from the age of the earth to its future energies; from life on Mars to cancer here on earth. A whole panoply that has never before been told as an entity.

Volume 47 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry introduces to Noble Gases. Although the mass spectrometry principles are not complex, the tricks involved in getting better data are often self taught or passed on by working with individuals who themselves are pushing the boundaries further. Furthermore, much of the exciting new science is linked with technical developments that allow us to move beyond the current measurement capabilities. Be they better crushing devices, laser resonance time of flight, multiple collection or compressor sources - the technical issues are central to progress.

The twelve chapters of this volume aim to provide a complete manual for using noble gases in terrestrial geochemistry, covering applications which range from high temperature processes deep in the Earth’s interior to tracing climatic variations using noble gases trapped in ice cores, groundwaters and modern sediments. Other chapters cover noble gases in crustal (aqueous, CO2 and hydrocarbon) fluids and laboratory techniques for determining noble gas solubilities and diffusivities under geologically relevant conditions. Each chapter deals with the fundamentals of the analysis and interpretation of the data, detailing sampling and sampling strategies, techniques for analysis, sources of error and their estimation, including data treatment and data interpretation using recent case studies.

The history of Earth in the Solar System has been unraveled using natural radioactivity. The sources of this radioactivity are the original creation of the elements and the subsequent bombardment of objects, including Earth, in the Solar System by cosmic rays. Both radioactive and radiogenic nuclides are harnessed to arrive at ages of various events and processes on Earth. This collection of chapters from the Treatise on Geochemistry displays the range of radioactive geochronometric studies that have been addressed by researchers in various fields of Earth science. These range from the age of Earth and the Solar System to the dating of the history of Earth that assists us in defining the major events in Earth history. In addition, the use of radioactive geochronometry in describing rates of Earth surface processes, including the climate history recorded in ocean sediments and the patterns of circulation of the fluid Earth, has extended the range of utility of radioactive isotopes as chronometric and tracer tools. Comprehensive, interdisciplinary and authoritative content selected by leading subject experts Robust illustrations, figures and tables Affordably priced sampling of content from the full Treatise on Geochemistry
