CRC TRR 170 - B02: Stable isotope fractionation of S, Te and Pd and the roles of core formation and late accretion on siderophile volatile elements in the Earth
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted outside University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2016 - 31/12/2019 | 1st Funding period
Description
The aim of this study is to investigate the stable isotope composition of terrestrial mantle rocks (S, Te and Pd) and chondritic meteorites (Te and Pd) and to calibrate experimentally the stable isotope fractionation for the aforementioned elements imparted by metal-silicate equilibration during core formation. The measurements and experiments will constrain the geochemical behavior of S, Te, and Pd and their isotopes during core formation and may help to explain the observed isotopic differences between chondrites and bulk silicate Earth.
Keywords: core formation; siderophile voilatile elements
