Carbon fluxes and primary magma CO2 contents along the global mid-ocean ridge system
The concentration of carbon in primary mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), and the associated fluxes of CO2 outgassed at ocean ridges, is examined through new data obtained by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) on 753 globally-distributed MORB glasses. MORB glasses are typically 80-90% degassed of...
