Potential on-shore and off-shore reservoirs for CO2 sequestration in Central Atlantic magmatic province basalts.
Identifying locations for secure sequestration of CO(2) in geological formations is one of our most pressing global scientific problems. Injection into basalt formations provides unique and significant advantages over other potential geological storage options, including large potential storage volumes and permanent fixation of carbon by mineralization. The Central Atlantic Magmatic Province ba...
متن کاملMagmatic recharge in continental flood basalts: Insights from the Chifeng igneous province in Inner Mongolia
Eruptive sequences can be used as windows into the thermal and chemical evolution of magma chambers. We examined a continuous vertical section of the Baichahe basalt flow associated with the late Cenozoic Chifeng flood basalt in Inner Mongolia, North China. From oldest to youngest, MgO increases, K2O, light rare earths and other incompatible elements decrease, and Nb/La and radiogenic Pb isotop...
متن کاملColumbia River flood basalts from a centralized crustal magmatic system
The Columbia River Basalt Group in the northwestern United States, comprising about 230,000 cubic kilometres of rock, exhibits unusual patterns in lava distribution, geochemistry and its apparent relationship to regional tectonics. Consequently, there is little consensus on the origin of its magmas. Here, we examine the isotopic ratios of Sr, Nd, Pb and Os and traceelement abundances in Columbi...
متن کاملRapid emplacement of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province as a net sink for CO2
a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Large Igneous Province atmospheric carbon dioxide Triassic–Jurassic CO 2 chemical weathering Recent evidence from the ~201.5 Ma Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) in the Newark rift basin demonstrates that this Large Igneous Province produced a transient doubling of atmospheric pCO 2 , followed by a falloff to pre-eruptive concentrations over ~300 kyr. Thi...
متن کاملZircon U-Pb geochronology links the end-Triassic extinction with the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province.
The end-Triassic extinction is characterized by major losses in both terrestrial and marine diversity, setting the stage for dinosaurs to dominate Earth for the next 136 million years. Despite the approximate coincidence between this extinction and flood basalt volcanism, existing geochronologic dates have insufficient resolution to confirm eruptive rates required to induce major climate pertur...
