This project aims to determine how the global carbon cycle controlled the occurrence of carbonatites, which provide most of the world’s rare earth elements, using novel methods to improve our understanding of carbonatites and carbon-rich mantle rocks. This project expects to generate new knowledge on how global geodynamic processes, including the supercontinent cycle, influenced carbon recycling and mantle enrichments. This project will have significant economic benefits for targeting economically critical mineral deposits required to transition to a decarbonized world and placing the carbon cycle in a paleogeographic context to understand the climate in deep time.

该项目旨在确定全球碳循环如何控制碳酸岩的出现，碳酸岩提供了世界上大部分的稀土元素，使用新的方法来提高我们对碳酸岩和富碳地幔岩的理解。该项目预计将产生关于全球地球动力学过程（包括超大陆循环）如何影响碳循环和地幔富集的新知识。该项目将具有显著的经济效益，可以针对过渡到脱碳世界所需的经济关键矿床，并将碳循环置于古地理背景下，以了解深层气候。
