Mantle Carbon Contents for Mid-Ocean Ridge Segments

Abstract: CO2 of MORB-source mantle at the segment scale. We compile volatile data and crustal thickness at the segment scale from Le Voyer et al. (2018 & 2019) and invert through application of the batch melting equation for CO2 in the mantle source beneath ridges. We calculate mantle CO2 estimates for 711 mid-ocean ridge segments in the Gale catalog (2013 & 2013).
