Dual carbonate clumped isotopes (Δ47-Δ48) constrains kinetic effects and timescales in peridotite-associated springs at The Cedars, Northern California
Abstract:The Cedars is an area in Northern California with a chain of highly
alkaline springs resulting from CO-charged
meteorological water interacting with a peridotite body.
Serpentinization resulting from this interaction at depth leads to the
sequestration of various carbonate minerals into veins accompanied by a
release of Ca and OH enriched
water to the surface, creating an environment which promotes rapid
precipitation of CaCO at surface springs. This
environment enables us to apply the recently developed
