The Earth’s Deep Sulphur Cycle from Planetary Accretion to Present
Sulphur, though often considered a minor constituent of the Earth’s interior, is a key driver of geological, geochemical, and biological processes. While large amounts of this element segregated into the core during planetary differentiation, a significant fraction resides in the crust and mantle, influencing redox processes, cycling of volatiles, and geodynamic evolution across vast timescales, from core formation to the onset of life. Yet, significant knowledge gaps remain, particularly concerning sulphur’s role below the shallow mantle. The S-CAPE project aims to address these gaps by investigating experimentally and theoretically the transformation of sulphur-bearing compounds starting…
