Fluid inclusion geochemistry examines microscopic droplets of palaeo-fluids trapped within minerals to reconstruct the physicochemical conditions of ancient hydrothermal systems. By analysing the ...

Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful non-destructive tool for the in situ characterisation of fluids trapped within mineral hosts. By measuring vibrational signatures of molecular species, it ...

Researchers report that rocks from Earth's upper mantle and lower oceanic crust in diverse geological settings around the world contain abiotic methane and hydrogen in fluid inclusions, likely formed ...

Gas-rich fluid inclusions containing CO2 (carbon dioxide) and CH4 (methane) were trapped in host minerals (here quartz) during crystal growth. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for ...
