项目摘要

Sulfur is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth, is an essential ingredient for life, and plays a pivotal role in geologic and environmental processes. A large part of the global sulfur cycle involves exchange between the surface and interior of the Earth at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another. As a volatile element, sulfur has the potential to be released into the Earth's mantle during the physical and chemical changes that take place during subduction. Sulfur released during subduction can be re-introduced into the atmosphere from subduction-related volcanic arcs, such as those found along the Pacific rim. While the chemistry of sulfur released at volcanic arcs has been well studied, the mechanism by which sulfur is released during subduction, and the effects of subducted sulfur on the mineralogy of the upper mantle, the volcanic arc, and arc-associated ore deposits (i.e., gold and copper), are poorly constrained. This team's work addresses this knowledge gap in the sulfur cycle by directly examining sulfur-bearing minerals in rocks from ancient subducted plates and deep arc volcanic systems, which have been brought back to the surface of the Earth via tectonic processes. Using a combination of field-based observations and thermodynamic modeling, one of the most important outcomes of this work will be the identification of coupled sulfide-silicate reactions that occur within subducting slabs. The oxidation state of the fluids released during these reactions has important consequences for the redox state of the upper mantle and volcanic arc system. These observations will be coupled with analyses of the sulfur isotopic signature of sulfides from exhumed high-pressure rocks and deep arc crustal cumulates, which will provide a tracer for different sources of sulfur throughout the entire subduction process. A broad range of lithologies, including meta-sediments and meta-igneous rocks, will be analyzed in order to capture the scope of subducted sulfur isotope values. In combining sulfur isotope signatures with the reactions that likely take place in a variety of subducted lithologies, the redox and isotopic composition of sulfur-related fluids that feed arc volcanic systems will be characterized in a way that has never been done before. These linkages will be tested by quantifying the sulfur isotopic signature of sulfides in deep crustal arc cumulates from the Lesser Antilles arc, which provides a novel opportunity to test how differences in subducted sediment across an arc may influence the sulfur isotopic signature in the volcanic arc. This work will provide University of Maine students with access to techniques not currently available in the State of Maine.

硫是地球上最丰富的元素之一，是生命的重要成分，在地质和环境过程中起着关键作用。全球硫周期的很大一部分涉及在俯冲带的地面和内部之间的交换，其中一个构造板下沉了另一个。作为一种挥发性元件，在俯冲期间发生的物理和化学变化期间，硫有可能被释放到地球地幔中。俯冲期间释放的硫可以从俯冲相关的火山弧（例如沿太平洋沿线发现的火山弧）重新引入大气中。虽然对火山弧释放的硫化学已经进行了充分的研究，但在俯冲期间释放硫的机制，以及俯冲硫对上地幔，火山弧和弧相关的矿石沉积物的矿物质学的影响（即，金和铜）受到了良好的约束。该团队的工作通过直接检查古老的俯冲板和深弧火山系统的岩石中的含硫矿物质来解决这一知识差距，这些矿物通过构造过程带回了地球。结合基于田间的观测和热力学建模，这项工作的最重要结果之一将是鉴定在俯冲板内发生的硫化物 - 硅酸盐反应。在这些反应过程中释放的流体的氧化态对上地幔和火山弧系统的氧化还原状态有重要影响。这些观察结果将与来自杂化的高压岩石和深弧层累积的硫化物硫同位素特征的分析相结合，这将在整个俯冲过程中为不同来源提供示踪剂。为了捕获俯冲硫同位素值的范围，将分析广泛的岩性，包括元素和元素岩石。在将硫同位素特征与可能发生在各种俯冲岩性中发生的反应相结合时，将以以前从未做过的方式来表征与硫相关液的氧化还原和同位素组成。这些连接将通过量化深层地壳弧中硫化物的硫同位素特征的测试，该硫弧累积了较小的Antilles Arc，这为测试了一个新的机会来测试跨弧线俯冲沉积物的差异可能会影响伏尔可弧中的硫同位素特征。这项工作将为缅因大学学生提供当前缅因州目前尚不可用的技术。
