These rocks represent the cooler outer portion and crystal-rich products of a cooling magma reservoir at upper crustal levels. Major and trace-element difference between cores and rims in sanidine crystals represent two generations of crystal growth separated by unmixing of a carbonate melt. Trace-element differences measured by LA--ICP--MS are in accordance with silicate--carbonate unmixing.

Gray scales directly represent K/Na ratios owing to low concentrations of Ba and Sr (<{\thinspace}30 ppm). Diffusion gradients are modeled to solve for temperature using known pre-eruptive U--Th zircon ages (0--20 ky) of each sample (Schmitt et al., J Petrol 51:1053--1085, 2010).

The peridotites have some of the lightest d7Li and d57Fe values yet measured in mantle rocks. These values are too fractionated to have been created solely by equilibrium partial melting and thus require a combination of melt depletion and slab fluid addition and may be derived from diffusion-modified melt channel wall rocks.

Unlike many other subduction zones, primitive basalts with Mg# > 65 are abundant in Kamchatka, thereby allowing characterization of the mantle source through compositional analyses of near-liquidus minerals in the rocks. In this paper, we present a comprehensive dataset on the composition of Cr-spinel inclusions in olivine for all main Late Quaternary volcanic zones in Kamchatka, comprising 1604 analyses of spinel inclusions and their host-olivine in 104 samples from 30 volcanic complexes (single volcanoes and volcanic fields). The studied rocks are basalts, basaltic andesites and high-Mg andesites, which cover the whole compositional range of the primitive Late Quaternary volcanic rocks in Kamchatka. The spinel composition shows large variability. Spinel inclusions with the lowest Cr# and Fe3+/Fe2+ ratios were found in basalts from Sredinny Range and Northern Kamchatka, whereas the most Cr-rich and oxidized spinel inclusions occur in basalts and high-Mg andesites from the Central Kamchatka Depression. Intermediate Cr-spinel compositions characterize the Eastern Volcanic Belt of Kamchatka. The compositions of olivine-spinel pairs were used to quantify the oxidation state of parental Kamchatka magmas and the degree of partial mantle melting. The redox conditions recorded in spinel compositions range from ΔQFM = +0.7 to +3.7. ΔQFM for spinel from the Sredinny Range and Northern Kamchatka correlates with a number of whole-rock proxies for the involvement of slab-derived components (e.g., La/Nb and Ba/La), which suggests a coupling between mantle oxidation state and slab-derived fluid/melt metasomatism. These correlations were not observed in frontal Kamchatka volcanoes with the highest estimated ΔQFM, which possibly indicates buffering of the mantle oxidation state by sulfur. The estimated degrees of partial mantle melting range from 8 to >20% for Kamchatka volcanoes. Spinel from the Central Kamchatka Depression has the highest Cr# and could crystallize from magmas generated from the most depleted sources. In contrast to the Eastern Volcanic Belt, spinel Cr# and the inferred degrees of melting in the Central Kamchatka Depression do not correlate with spinel TiO2 content. The apparent decoupling between the proxies of mantle depletion in the CKD spinel is interpreted to reflect refertilization of the CKD mantle by oxidized Ti-rich slab- or mantle lithosphere-derived melts near the northern edge of the subducting Pacific Plate. This study demonstrates that the composition of Cr-spinel in volcanic rocks in combination with bulk-rock compositions can be a powerful tool to map regional variations of the mantle source depletion, oxidation state, and involvement of various slab-derived components in island-arc magmatism.", doi = "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lithos.2018.10.011", issn = "0024-4937", journal = "Lithos", keywords = "Cr-spinel, Olivine, Kamchatka, Redox conditions, Mantle wedge", pages = "212 - 224", title = "{C}hromium spinel in {L}ate {Q}uaternary volcanic rocks from {K}amchatka: {I}mplications for spatial compositional variability of subarc mantle and its oxidation state", url = "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0024493718303761", volume = "322", year = "2018", } @article{doi:10.1111/ggr.12239, author = "Lutz Nasdala and Fernando Corfu and Blair Schoene and Simon R.

In order to identify the fluid evolution in oceanic subduction zones, eclogite from the Sumdo metamorphic belt, has been investigated in a combined study of petrography, mineral chemistry, fluid inclusions and oxygen isotopes. On the basis of petrography and mineral chemistry, two kinds of garnet were distinguished. The core part of Grt-I shows increasing grossular content and contains prograde mineral inclusions, suggesting that it grew during prograde metamorphism, while the rim of Grt-I shows varying grossular and pyrope contents, representing subsequent overgrowth. Grt-II displays a composition comparable with the outermost part of Grt-I, indicating that Grt-II grew at the peak or initial retrograde stage. Garnet trace element zoning patterns and P-T estimates suggest that the Sumdo eclogite experienced a heating stage during an initial exhumation after the peak metamorphic event. Based on textural criteria and host minerals, three types of fluid inclusions were distinguished: Type-I are primary NaCl dominated intermediate to high-salinity (10–22 wt% NaCl) fluid inclusions hosted by omphacite, which were most likely released during dehydration of the subducting oceanic crust and reflect the composition of eclogite-facies fluids; Type-II are defined as primary low-salinity (1–6 wt% NaCl) fluid inclusions hosted by epidote/clinozoisite, representing fluids that evolved towards low-salinity during uplift; Type-III are secondary low-salinity (0–7 wt% NaCl) fluid inclusions hosted by matrix quartz (i.e., minerals other than the mineral inclusions) and rarely by omphacite and must have formed at a very late stage. In addition, the eclogite displays δ18O values (δ18O = +5.0 to +8.9‰) similar to its protolith, low-temperature altered oceanic crust (δ18O = +4.9 to +12.7‰). The equilibrium oxygen isotope fractionations (Δ18OQtz-Min) between quartz and garnet/omphacite suggest isotopic equilibrium and a closed fluid system during eclogite facies metamorphism. Our data indicate that the Sumdo eclogite experienced “hot” exhumation, during which large amounts of fluids were released by dehydration. Fluids in the Sumdo eclogite were typically aqueous fluids of varying salinities and now preserved as fluid inclusions in HP metamorphic minerals.

Indeed, the role and relative importance of sediment subduction versus crustal assimilation to explain the chemical and isotopic variations of the erupted magmas remain unclear. Isotopic disequilibrium between minerals and their host indicate that bulk rock analyses are incapable of constraining the isotopic composition of the source. Therefore, we use isotopic (87Sr/86Sr, 18O/16O and 17O/16O) data on separated minerals (feldspar, clinopyroxene and olivine phenocrysts) from pyroclastic successions and lava flows of the Neapolitan volcanic area (Phlegrean Volcanic District and Somma-Vesuvius complex) to better constrain magmatic oxygen and strontium isotope ratios. Magmatic values recalculated from δ18O of olivine and clinopyroxene phenocrysts range from typical mantle values of 5.2‰ to almost 9‰ relative to SMOW. These compositions are very different from those of typical mantle sources. In order to assess the degree of magma evolution from which these minerals formed, the Mg# of clinopyroxene and olivine were converted into host melt Mg#, resulting in the range 44 to 76. Simple assimilation of silicic crustal rocks is difficult to reconcile with the mafic nature of these estimated host magma compositions. This indicates that some mafic, mantle-derived magmas, having unusually heavy oxygen isotope (up to ~9‰) and high Sr isotope compositions (0.7050 to 0.7085), must exist. Crustal assimilation of carbonates can be excluded by the lack of a link between isotopes and major and trace element signatures. Assimilation of either Hercynian-like crust or altered pyroclastic rocks, however, cannot be ruled out completely. However, assimilation of partial melts from a Hercynian-like crust would have to be ~12% and ~21% to explain the heavy oxygen isotope values of Campi Flegrei and Somma-Vesuvius, respectively. Such degrees of assimilation are unlikely since the magmas are either too mafic or too alkaline to be consistent with such high proportion of crustal components. Other, less mafic Campi Flegrei, Somma-Vesuvius and Ischia magmas with more typical mantle oxygen isotopes, have been possibly generated in a mantle source affected by minor contamination by pelagic and carbonate sediments and subsequent assimilation of Hercynian-like crust. Sr-O mixing models indicate that such magmas were derived from a mantle source that was contaminated by up to 10% of a 1:1 mixture of pelagic and carbonate sediments. These findings together demonstrate the highly complex and varied magma sources in the Campania volcanic district.

Subduction component addition has been proposed to modify the Zn isotopic budget of arc magmas. However, the lack of a systematic study on Zn isotopic compositions of arc magmas hampers a better understanding of Zn isotope behavior in subduction zones. To address this issue, we have determined Zn isotopic compositions of 37 well-characterized arc rocks from the Kamchatka and Central-Eastern Aleutian arcs. These rocks record contributions of fluids and melts derived from altered oceanic crust (AOC) without overprints of sediment melts and thus allow focus on the potential effects of AOC-derived fluids and melts on the Zn isotopic budget of arc magmas. For comparison, nine basalts from the Gakkel, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast Indian Ridges, and the Lau Basin and nine adakites from Central America were also analyzed. Rocks from the Kamchatka-Aleutian arcs have δ66Zn from 0.16 to 0.31‰ that are mostly similar to those of mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), back-arc basin basalts (BABBs), and adakites (δ66Zn = 0.23–0.33‰), but a significant number of arc samples also display δ66Zn higher than that of the depleted MORB-type mantle (DMM), indicating Zn isotope fractionation during magmatic processes and/or modifications of the mantle wedge Zn isotopic budget by incorporation of AOC-derived fluids and melts. The lack of correlations of δ66Zn with geochemical indicators of magma differentiation (e.g., MgO, SiO2, and Zn/FeT) indicate that fractionation of olivine, pyroxene, and magnetite has a limited effect on the Zn isotopic compositions of arc magmas. Even though the mantle sources of arc rocks investigated here are strongly affected by AOC-derived fluids and melts that have higher δ66Zn compared to the DMM, we observe no systematic variations of δ66Zn with indicators of subduction components (e.g., Ba/La, Ba/Th, Sr/Y, Hf/Lu and 87Sr/86Sr). This suggests that insignificant transport of Zn from the subducting Pacific slab to the Kamchatka and Central-Eastern Aleutian mantle wedge. Our model calculations suggest that the observed offset of δ66Zn between the mantle and arc magmas can be attributed to isotope fractionation during partial melting with no need for contributions from subduction components.", doi = "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2018.07.012", issn = "0016-7037", journal = "Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta", keywords = "Zn isotopes, Arc magmas, Subduction components, Partial melting, Magma differentiation", pages = "85 - 101", title = "{Z}inc isotopic systematics of {K}amchatka-{A}leutian arc magmas controlled by mantle melting", url = "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016703718303880", volume = "238", year = "2018", } @article{Gordeychik2018, author = "Boris Gordeychik and Tatiana Churikova and Andreas Kronz and Caren Sundermeyer and Alexander Simakin and Gerhard W{\"o}rner", abstract = "Complex core-rim zoning of Mg-Fe-Ni-Ca-Cr-Al-P in high-Mg olivine crystals from a tuff ring of Shiveluch volcano, Kamchatka, enables reconstruction of the entire olivine crystallization history from mantle conditions to eruption.

Diffusion proceeded to the centres of crystals and completely equilibrated Fo and Ni in some crystals. Diffusion times extracted from Fo and Ni core profiles range from 100 to 2000 days. During subsequent mixing with mafic mantle-equilibrated melt, the cores were partially dissolved and overgrown by Fo90 olivine. Times extracted from Fo and Ni diffusion profiles across the resorption interface between the core and its overgrowth range within 1-10 days, which corresponds to the time of magma ascent to the surface. The overgrowth shows identical smooth Fo-Ni decreasing zoning patterns for all crystals towards the margin, indicating that all crystals shared the same growth history after last mixing event prior to eruption. At the same time, Ca, and to an even greater extent Cr, Al, and P have oscillatory growth patterns in the crystals overgrowth.

Few comparisons of coralline algal proxies, such as temperature-dependent algal magnesium to calcium (Mg/Ca) ratios, with in situ-measured surface ocean data exist, even rarer are well replicated records from individual sites. We present Mg/Ca records from nine coralline algal specimens (Clathromorphum compactum) from a single site in the Gulf of Maine, North Atlantic. Sections from algal mounds were analyzed using Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) yielding individual Mg/Ca records of up to 30 years in length. We first test intra- and intersample signal replication and show that algal Mg/Ca ratios are reproducible along several transects within individual sample specimens and between different samples from the same study site. In addition, LA-ICP-MS-derived Mg/Ca ratios are compared to electron microprobe (EMP) analyzed data on the longest-lived specimens and were found to be statistically commensurable. Second, we evaluate whether relationships between algal-based SST reconstructions and in situ temperature data can be improved by averaging Mg/Ca records from multiple algal specimens (intersample averages). We found that intersample averages yield stronger relationships to sea surface temperature (SST) data than Mg/Ca records derived from individual samples alone. Thus, Mg/Ca-based paleotemperature reconstructions from coralline algae can benefit from using multiple samples per site, and can expand temperature proxy precision from seasonal to monthly.", doi = "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2017.09.044", issn = "0016-7037", journal = "Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta", keywords = "Coralline algae, Sea surface temperature, Calibration, Paleotemperature", pages = "96 - 109", title = "{R}eproducibility of {C}lathromorphum compactum coralline algal {M}g/{C}a ratios and comparison to high-resolution sea surface temperature data", url = "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016703717306336", volume = "220", year = "2018", } @article{Germinario2017, author = "Luigi Germinario and Siegfried Siegesmund and Lara Maritan and Klaus Simon and Claudio Mazzoli", abstract = "Decay of trachyte used as building stone in urban environment was investigated through the analysis of crusts and patinas found on trachyte of the Euganean Hills in the Renaissance city walls of Padua, northeastern Italy.

The results are discussed referring to environmental parameters, in particular concerning air quality and anthropic pollution sources. The influence of composition of the stone and other neighboring materials on specific weathering processes is also debated. The formation of crusts and patinas turns out to be mainly due to exogenous processes. Enrichment in heavy metals and carbonaceous matter derives from the deposition of particulate emitted during fuel combustion by road vehicles, domestic heating and, secondarily, industrial activities. The particulate is typically cemented by calcite, mainly mobilized after dissolution from nearby mortar joints, or iron, released by leaching from iron-bearing minerals, reprecipitated according to pH fluctuations. Gypsum layers were rarely observed.

Such short timescales are consistent with volcanological and geochronological data that indicate that at least six eruptions occurred in the Agnano-San Vito area during few centuries before the Agnano-Monte Spina eruption. Thus, the short diffusion timescales are similar to time intervals between eruptions.
