CIDER impacts. -I started CIDER as student participant in 2006, when my thesis advisor (Hart) encouraged me to participate. CIDER was the most powerful experience of my graduate education. -Several publications emerged from interactions that I had at the CIDER workshop. One example: Raj and I were both students when we met at CIDER in 2006, and we have written 3 papers together. -First faculty position was directly a product of contacts I made at CIDER. -I had a post-doc participate in CIDER in 2014, and my students will be participants this summer.

Wilson, 1989 Workman et al., (G-cubed, 2004 Rivers contribute > 85% of ocean floor sediment ~20 km3 of oceanic crust subducted annually (~5% of mantle’s mass in 3 Ga)! Hofmann, Nature,1997 ~1 km3 of sediment subducted annually (mass of Africa + S. America in 3 Ga)! The mantle “zoo”: Origin of the species? Why all the acronyms? FOZO Willbold and Stracke, 2002 Origin of the species • EM2: Recycled continental crust? “Metasomatism”? • HIMU: Recycled oceanic crust? “Metasomatism”? • EM1: A real “dog’s breakfast” of proposed origins: Pelagic sediment, lower continental crust, sub-continental lithosphere, “metasomatism”, etc., etc. Big Problem: Survival of early-Earth reservoirs in a chaotic mantle? Davies, 2002 Brandenburg et al. (EPSL 2008) Short-lived isotope system: 146Sm – 142Nd 146Sm 142Nd (t1/2=103 Ma) Rizo et al., 2012 • • All Hadean-generated 142Nd/144Nd heterogeneities disappeared by 2.7 Ga (Debaille et al., 2013). Oceanic peridotites sampling the convecting mantle Os-isotopic model ages in peridotites provide records of mantle depletion. Where are the Archean & Hadean depleted-mantle domains???? Lassiter et al., 2014 But there are heterogeneous, Hadean 129Xe/130Xe signatures in the modern mantle! 129Xe (t1/2=15.7 Ma) Mukhopadhyay, 2012 129I PARADOX: 129Xe signatures preserved since the Hadean, but Hadean 142Nd and Hadean depleted mantle Os signatures have been “erased”. …and there are heterogeneous, Hadean 182W/184W signatures in the modern mantle! 182Hf 182W (t1/2=8.9 Ma) Ontong Java Plateau (120 Ma) Baffin Is. (62 Ma) MORB Hawaii (Kilauea) Rizo et al. (Science, 2016) MAJOR PARADOX: 182W and 129Xe signatures preserved since the Hadean, but Hadean 142Nd and Hadean depleted mantle Os signatures “erased”. • Nd and Os are efficiently recycled back into the mantle, and recycled Nd and Os efficiently overprint Hadean 142Nd and Hadean depleted Os signatures. • However, due to inefficient recycling of Xe and W, subduction does not completely overprint Hadean 129Xe and 182W signatures. e (Fraction of element returned to mantle / fraction remaining in surface reservoirs) Survival of early-Earth reservoirs in a chaotic mantle? A role for recycling efficiency? The flux of an element back into the mantle must almost certainly influence whether early-formed isotopic heterogeneities of that element are preserved. Brandenburg et al. (EPSL 2008) Looking back, and looking ahead • Discovery of the survival of Hadean-formed heterogeneities in the Earth (129Xe, 182W) is an exciting development in geochemistry. • How are early-formed heterogeneities preserved in the mantle for >4.5 Ga? • 4 years ago I would have predicted these discoveries were impossible… we do not understand mantle mixing. • Tackle this CIDER style: Geochemists: Clarify distribution of Hadean reservoirs, Need more 129Xe and 182W data on additional locations. Test “recycling efficiency” model by prospecting for Hadean signatures in other isotopic systems. Dynamicists: Evaluate relative roles of mixing/stirring versus recycling efficiency of different elements. Mineral physicists: Material properties (e.g., multi-phase rheology, viscosity and phase stability at ultra-high P) that influence mixing/stirring rates.
