The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $343,290 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for a 2-year Postdoctoral Fellowship. The grant, funded under the NSF Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program, will support research to characterize the composition of the Pacific mantle using nitrogen and noble gas isotopes. Specifically, the project will analyze oceanic basalt samples from seamounts near the East Pacific Rise to identify recycled and deeply sourced mantle components. Additionally, the PI will curate and publish WHOI's collection of ocean basalt samples and geochemical data in an interactive website to increase accessibility for future research and education. This study aims to provide new insights into the evolution of Earth's mantle through comprehensive isotopic analysis of mantle-derived oceanic lavas.
