Tracing mantle degassing along the East African Rift using He and C isotopes: a geospatial approach
… Mantle)-like helium is seen along the Kenyan and Kivu rifts, due to either diluted plume influence and/or input from DMM or SCLM (Sub-Continental Lithospheric Mantle). Plume-like helium is seen in Rungwe, indicating deep-mantle input. This study introduced carbon as a concurrent tracer, which …
