Sea ice and argon by Hambler, C

“…1) Atmospheric argon on Earth and Mars cycles on a seasonal basis and abiotic factors will be particularly important drivers of this noble gas. 2) It is predicted and confirmed that there is similarity in the seasonality of sea ice and argon, with atmospheric argon in a Hemisphere often increasing fastest when sea ice in that Hemisphere is declining fastest. 3) There is some visual similarity between the detailed phenology of Greenland Sea ice extent and argon in some Northern Hemisphere sites, but formal analysis is required. 4) If causal, the mechanism is unclear but could involve argon bubble formation during freezing and bubble release in the spring melt. 5) Other variables with very similar phenology to sea ice, including high-latitude sea temperatures, should be investigated as potential drivers. 6) Cycling of argon by sea ice would strengthen the argument that seasonal cycling of carbon dioxide is in part driven abiotically.…”

The effect of cation charge on crystal-melt partitioning of trace elements by Wood, B, Blundy, J

The origin of high helium concentrations in the gas fields of southwestern Tanzania by Mtili, KM, Byrne, DJ, Ballentine, CJ, Tyne, RL, Kazimoto, EO, Kimani, CN, Kasanzu, CH, Hillegonds, DJ, Barry, PH

“…The largest 40Ar/36Ar anomalies occur in RRB, with resolvable excess 40Ar derived from radiogenic production in the crust. Using a noble gas solubility model, we calculate volumetric gas to water ratios (Vg/Vw) and show that Vg/Vw values are low for RRB (0.1), consistent with longer migration distances, whereas Vg/Vw are higher for LHS (Vg/Vw = 0.1–10) and RVP (Vg/Vw = 3–12), suggesting a more direct conduit for volatiles from source to surface. …”
