Mantle geochemistry: Unmixing Hawaiian cocktails
Alex N. Halliday1
Geochemical data can tell us a great deal about processes in Earth's mantle, but obtaining that data and interpreting it are far from straightforward. If confirmation of that point were needed it comes from papers by Lassiter and Hauri1, and Putirka2, both of which involve analysis of Hawaiian lavas but which come to rather different conclusions about their origins.
- Alex N. Halliday is in the Institute for Isotope Geology and Mineral Resources, Department of Earth Sciences, ETH Zentrum, NO C61, Sonneggstrasse 5, CH-8092 Zürich, Switzerland.
