However, local environmental phenomena like meteoric and marine diagenetic alteration or changes in carbonate facies often decouple carbonate geochemistry from open-ocean seawater chemistry. To accurately reconstruct global geochemical cycles using shallow-water carbonates, it is therefor crucial to separate signals of local environmental phenomena from genuine changes in open-ocean seawater chemistry. The well-documented shallow-water carbonate succession from Ocean Drilling Program Site 866A (Resolution Guyot, Mid-Pacific Mountains) offers an opportunity to disentangle global and local signals recorded in shallow-water carbonates during the Early Cretaceous oceanic anoxic event 1a (OAE1a), a brief, globally correlative perturbation to the carbon cycle. Recent studies at this site have documented a δ<sup>13</sup>C excursion, a modest decline in <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr, and large stratigraphic variability in δ<sup>7</sup>Li and δ<sup>44</sup>Ca values, all of which have been interpreted as reflecting temporal changes in the chemical composition of open-ocean seawater associated with OAE1a. However, other work at this site demonstrates clear evidence of meteoric and marine diagenesis as well as changes in carbonate facies across the OAE1a interval. Here, we aim to disentagle signals that reflect global geochemical cycling from those that reflect local environmental phenomena by employing a suite of carbonate-bound geochemical proxies (δ<sup>7</sup>Li, δ<sup>13</sup>C, δ<sup>18</sup>O<sub>carb</sub>, δ<sup>26</sup>Mg, δ<sup>44</sup>Ca, Δ<sub>47</sub>, [Mg], [Ca], [Sr], [Li]) and a numerical model of carbonate diagenesis. We show that while changes in <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr ratios at this site reflect changes in primary seawater composition, stratigraphic variability in other geochemical systems (e.g., δ<sup>7</sup>Li, δ<sup>26</sup>Mg and δ<sup>44</sup>Ca values and trace element concentrations) arises primarily from early marine and meteoric diagenesis, with some contamination of Li from co-occurring clays. With much of the chemostratigraphic variability preserved today conceivably owing its origin to carbonate diagenesis and in recognition of the residence times for these elements in seawater (&gt;1 million years) being longer than the short-lived OAE1a event, we make a case that our model-derived “snapshot” estimate for the calcium, magnesium, and lithium isotope composition of the marine diagenetic fluid reflects a stable open-ocean Early Cretaceous seawater signature. Although a global δ<sup>13</sup>C signal may still be present, our findings show how the stratigraphic record of δ<sup>13</sup>C values across the OAE1a at this site is a complex function of marine and meteoric diagenesis and changes in carbonate facies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11481,"journal":{"name":"Earth and Planetary Science Letters","volume":"666 ","pages":"Article 119513"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144321808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relationships between the maximum <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He and high hotspot buoyancy flux, and between maximum <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He and low seismic shear-wave velocity anomalies, suggest that high <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He is entrained only by the hottest and most buoyant mantle plumes. A prediction of this model is that the high <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He component is sampled by high-degree melting. We use a new geochemical database of ocean island lavas to demonstrate that high <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He is found only in tholeiitic (low alkali index) and mildly alkalic (intermediate alkali index) lavas, which result from high and moderate degrees of melting, respectively.

Here, we use high-density seismic sensors by employing distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) with fiber-optic cables to estimate seismic surface wave phase velocity variations. This allows us to constrain annual water dynamics in both unsaturated and saturated zones. We incorporate rock physics modeling to analyze shear wave velocity variations, to identify key physical parameters - such as saturation, pressure, and fractures - that best describe the water movement in response to rainfall. Our findings reveal that changes of pore pressure and saturation in the unsaturated zone resulting from precipitation influence high-frequency velocity changes. In the saturated zone, dynamic pore pressure induced by groundwater levels and crack opening or closure are primarily drivers for low-frequency velocity changes. Additionally, we observe the hysteresis in velocity variations between drying and wetting cycles over different time periods, implying fluid redistribution in pores and crack opening or closure responding to drying and wetting processes.

Postseismic deformation following large earthquakes has been widely used to constrain rheological structures globally. However, regional-scale rheological variations remain poorly understood due to the infrequency of large earthquakes. The Bayan Har Block in the central-eastern Tibetan Plateau is a unique tectonic unit to investigate rheology regional-variations by pronounced high seismicity, heat flow anomalies, and localized lithospheric thinning. Here, we image postseismic deformation following the 2021 Maduo earthquake using InSAR and GNSS observations to probe the rheology over the block’s north-east margin. We integrate long-term and short-term interferograms to separate deformation from atmospheric signals. After accounting for interseismic velocity, InSAR measurements extends out to 200 km from the rupture and its tips. Compared with prior studies, higher-quality far-field measurements allow the separation of viscoelastic relaxation from near-field afterslip effects.

These applications rely on a comprehensive understanding of <sup>36</sup>Cl transport and deposition processes, which are still poorly studied. In this study, we apply a state-of-the-art climate model ECHAM6.3-HAM2.3 to investigate the source distribution and deposition of <sup>36</sup>Cl. We configured <sup>36</sup>Cl as gas in the stratosphere and as aerosol particles in the troposphere (E63H23CTL). Two sensitivity simulations were performed, with <sup>36</sup>Cl configured solely as aerosol particles (E63H23AER) and solely as gas (E63H23GAS). The E63H23CTL simulation agrees well with global <sup>36</sup>Cl measurements in terms of absolute values and temporal variability. E63H23AER significantly underestimates polar <sup>36</sup>Cl deposition compared to measurements, E63H23CTL and E63H23GAS, suggesting that polar regions are more sensitive to the ³⁶Cl state (aerosol or gas phase) than other regions. This is most likely attributed to the predominance of mixed-phase clouds in the polar regions, which have a higher scavenging efficiency for gaseous <sup>36</sup>Cl compared to aerosol-bound <sup>36</sup>Cl. This is further supported by comparison with the other cosmogenic radionuclide <sup>10</sup>Be, which is exclusively aerosol-bound. The stratospheric contribution is dominant (65–70 %) in <sup>36</sup>Cl deposition in polar and subtropical regions, while stratospheric and tropospheric contributions are of similar size (50–51 %) in tropical regions. When responding to changes in solar modulation, <sup>36</sup>Cl deposition varies proportionally to global production rate changes. However, as response to geomagnetic field changes, <sup>36</sup>Cl shows latitudinal-dependent deposition enhancements/decreases (10–33 %) relative to global production rate changes. This deposition response is insensitive to the forms of <sup>36</sup>Cl (gaseous or aerosol-bound) and is similar to that shown by <sup>10</sup>Be. The result indicates that differences in transport and deposition between <sup>10</sup>Be and <sup>36</sup>Cl may play a minor role when jointly using these two radionuclides for geomagnetic and solar reconstructions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11481,"journal":{"name":"Earth and Planetary Science Letters","volume":"666 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144290533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
