Outline of Research at the Start

本研究では,海洋プレート由来の炭素がマントルウェッジに存在するのか明らかにするため,マントルウェッジ由来のかんらん岩捕獲岩に見られる流体包有物の炭素および窒素の同位体比を分析する.
海洋プレートが持つ炭素や窒素に関する端成分とそれらの混合ラインに照らし合わせると,レーザー抽出によって流体包有物から取り出した炭素や窒素の同位体比を掛け合わせることで,マントルウェッジにおける海洋プレート由来炭素の有無を決定できる.かんらん岩捕獲岩からレーザー抽出によって取り出せるCO2やN2量はナノモルレベルであるため,同位体比の測定精度は1‰程度になるが,本研究には十分な精度である.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we analyzed isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in fluid inclusions in mantle wedge-derived peridotite xenoliths to explore the presence of oceanic plate-derived carbon in the mantle wedge. The isotope ratios were measured using a combination of a gas extraction system for fluid inclusions in an ultra-high vacuum and a conventional mass spectrometer, as well as mass spectrometric analysis by micro-Raman spectroscopy. Carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios were measured for a total of 10 peridotite samples collected from subduction zones in the Ichinomegata in Oga, Akita Prefecture, Japan, and in Far Eastern Russia. The resulting isotopic signatures were interpreted to be derived from deep seawater.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では,海洋プレートから由来した炭素がマントルウェッジに浸入していることを世界で初めて直接証明することに成功した.これは,沈み込む海洋プレートと火山噴火を出口・入口とする大規模な炭素循環系の存在を示すものであり,社会的にも関心が高い炭素循環系の時空間スケールや炭素流量の探求に極めて大きな影響を及ぼすに違いない.また,マントルに含まれる炭素はマントル鉱物の融点を低下させ,沈み込み帯におけるマグマ生成機構にも影響をもたらすため,本研究の結果は,地球内部と地球表層をつなぐ熱や物質の循環系全体の枠組みに再構築を迫る知見になると思われる.
