Abstract

Noble gas isotopes offer a uniquely comprehensive, multi-faceted story of Earth's interior, from accretion to the present-day. Signatures of volatile delivery, extensive gas loss during accretion, early-formed heterogeneity, and differential mantle processing on billion-year timescales are all superimposed in the noble gas record. The large array of noble gas isotopes available for study enables systematic investigation of each of these signatures. A story of early separation of terrestrial reservoirs and divergent paths of mantle outgassing and atmospheric influx emerges from these investigations.
