Diffusion timescale conundrum in contact metamorphism: Oxygen isotope and trace element profiles in dolomite

Lukas Baumgartner, Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Florence Bégué

Successful application of diffusion chronometry is based on detailed knowledge of diffusion parameters obtained from laboratory experiments, which also need to be upscaled to be applied to natural samples. While generally applicable, several examples of di ...

Rapid grain boundary diffusion in foraminifera tests biases paleotemperature records

Lukas Baumgartner, Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Arthur Adams, Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro, Jinming Guo

The paleoseawater temperature record from the oxygen isotope compositions of fossil foraminifera tests may be biased by up to about 1 degrees C due to grain-boundary diffusion alone, according to isotope exchange experiments on foraminifera tests. The oxyg ...

Surface Analysis by Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS): Principles and Applications from Swiss Laboratories

Thomas Bovay, Lukas Baumgartner, Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Florent Olivier Vivien Plane

Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) extracts chemical, elemental, or isotopic information about a localized area of a solid target by performing mass spectrometry on secondary ions sputtered from its surface by the impact of a beam of charged particles. ...

Geosciences Roadmap for Research Infrastructures 2025–2028 by the Swiss Geosciences Community

Horst Vogel, Lukas Baumgartner, Athanasios Nenes, Othmar Müntener

This community roadmap presents an integrative approach including the most urgent infrastructure requests for the future development of geosciences in Switzerland. It recommends to strengthen the multidisciplinary nature of the geosciences by putting all a ...

Dissolution-reprecipitation reaction of dolomite: investigation of self- and tracer-diffusion using SIMS mini-spot and NanoSIMS profiles

Lukas Baumgartner, Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig

Recrystallization of minerals due to fluid infiltration modifies their original chemical and isotopic signature. Such processes are sought after as they give access to timescales of geologic processes, which are commonly quantified using diffusion chronome ...

Weekly to monthly time scale of melt inclusion entrapment prior to eruption recorded by phosphorus distribution in olivine from mid-ocean ridges

Lukas Baumgartner, Mélina Manzini, Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Othmar Müntener

Melt inclusions (MIs) hosted in euhedral olivine have been proposed to represent droplets of primary melt, protected from processes occurring near Earth's surface during eruption. The complex zoning of phosphorus (P) in some olivines and the presence of a ...

Short magmatic residence times of quartz phenocrysts in Patagonian rhyolites associated with Gondwana breakup

Lukas Baumgartner, Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Susanne Seitz

A key parameter in the study of magma evolution is the time scale on which magmatic processes occur. Using nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS), SIMS, and cathodoluminescence (CL) analyses, we have measured titanium (Ti) diffusion profiles ...
