In situ analyses of heat producing element concentrations in the cratonic mantle minerals.

In situ (laser ablation inductively couple plasma mass spectrometry and electron probe microanalysis) measurements of heat producing elements concentrations in cratonic mantle minerals from a variety of cratonic peridotites. This data can be used to reconstruct bulk-rock heat producing elements concentrations in cratonic peridotites for use in constructing cratonic geotherms. It is recommended to use the summarized version of HPE concentrations in mantle minerals from the accompanying publication. The publication additionally provides estimates for heat generation in cratonic peridotites based on model mantle lithologies.

本数据集包含对多种克拉通橄榄岩中产出的克拉通地幔矿物的生热元素（heat producing elements，HPE）浓度开展的原位测量数据，所用分析技术涵盖激光烧蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱法（laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry）与电子探针显微分析（electron probe microanalysis）。此类数据可用于重建克拉通橄榄岩的全岩生热元素浓度，进而支撑克拉通地热曲线的构建。建议采用随附文献中提供的地幔矿物生热元素（HPE）浓度汇总版本。该文献还基于模拟地幔岩性，对克拉通橄榄岩的生热率进行了估算。
