Isotopic data have been used to argue that a rise in marine sulfate concentrations to &gt;10 mM during the GOE was followed by a sulfate reservoir ‘collapse’. However, carbonate δ<sup>34</sup>S and δ<sup>13</sup>C values often reflect conditions specific to depositional setting and diagenetic alteration. To assess the relative importance of global vs<em>.</em> local/diagenetic controls, we present δ<sup>34</sup>S, δ<sup>26</sup>Mg, δ<sup>44/40</sup>Ca, and trace-metal data coupled with existing δ<sup>13</sup>C data from the ca. 2.1–2.0 Ga Tulomozero Formation and the overlying Zaonega Formation in the Onega Basin (Karelia, Russia). Over this transitional interval, δ<sup>34</sup>S and Sr/(Ca+Mg) values increase whereas δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>44/40</sup>Ca values decrease. X-ray absorption spectroscopy shows that the dominant form of sulfur within the rocks concomitantly shifted from mineralized sulfate and carbonate-associated sulfate (CAS) to variable mixtures of sulfide, sulfonate, and CAS. Those changes are associated with a depositional shift from shallow-marine to deeper-marine slope settings. δ<sup>44/40</sup>Ca and Sr/(Ca+Mg) data indicate that depositional environmental changes drove a shift from seawater- to sediment-buffered carbonate recrystallization. Consequently, we interpret δ<sup>34</sup>S trends that closely match those reported by previous workers as reflecting changing local environmental and diagenetic conditions, a finding that renders equivocal the use of such trends to assess sulfur cycle changes following the GOE.

The late delivery of CC material to Earth contrasts with dynamical evidence for the early implantation of CC objects into the inner solar system during the growth and migration of the giant planets. This, together with the NC-dominated nature of both Earth's late veneer and bulk Mars, suggests that material scattered inwards had the bulk of its mass concentrated in a few, large CC embryos rather than in smaller planetesimals. We propose that Earth accreted a few of these CC embryos while Mars did not, and that at least one of the CC embryos impacted Earth relatively late (when accretion was 90–98% complete).

Here we report the results of a long-period magnetotelluric (MT) study conducted in two 300 km-long trench-parallel transects crossing the northern boundary of the PSW in the proximal backarc. We modeled the MT data using 3-D inversion, obtaining an electrical resistivity model of the continental crust and upper mantle up to a depth of ∼150 km. Our model shows a heterogeneous resistivity structure in the uppermost mantle, dominated by resistivities &gt;300 Ωm below the array of sites even within the PSW, and some low-resistivity zones (LRZs, &lt;10 Ωm) mainly at the edge of the array.

These estimates suggest that the uppermost mantle within the PSW region is heterogeneous and dominated by high-viscosity blocks, compatible with the continental mantle lithosphere or even subducted slabs. Based on relatively hot and low-viscosity zones estimated in the periphery of LRZs, we interpret the presence of asthenospheric mantle in areas where LRZs coincide with relatively low <em>Vp</em>. According to this interpretation, asthenospheric upwelling in the study area at depths ≤150 km would be localized rather than ubiquitous over the interpreted extent for the PSW.

Most studies use petrological information of volatile element diffusive equilibration in glass and crystals to infer a single value for the magma ascent rate for a given eruption, even though numerical volcano conduit simulations show that changes of velocity are expected during magma ascent. Here we integrate magma ascent conduit models with diffusion chronometry of volatiles in melt embayments and phenocrysts to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of magma ascent rates. We find that incorporating a more realistic boundary condition that depends on the magma ascent path with variable velocities gives time estimates that can be up to a factor of 7 longer than from the standard assumption of constant magma ascent rate. Therefore, previous magma ascent rates from diffusion chronometry of volatiles in crystals and melts with a fixed boundary condition may be significantly overestimated.
