Earth science: Restoration of the noble gases

Tim Elliott1

Top

The noble gases emitted from deep inside the Earth have been sending mixed messages to those intent on deciphering them. A model that promises to help clear up the confusion is now on offer.

Geochemists have long taken a close interest in emissions from the bowels of the Earth. In particular, analyses of noble gases emanating from the mantle have been prominent in shaping models of Earth's structure.
