<div class=""><font face="Georgia" class="">Emily Stewart will be visiting us next week, i.e., March 3rd-4th. She is a candidate for the faculty search in "Solid Earth Processes in the Lithosphere (Metamorphic Petrology)”. Please let me know if you would like

</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Georgia" class=""><b class="">Abstract:</b> </font><span class="" style="text-align:justify"><font face="Georgia" class="">Planet Earth has supported life for billions of years. Despite profound changes in the surface environment and
the deep Earth, our climate has remained relatively</font></span></div>
<div class=""><span class="" style="text-align:justify"><font face="Georgia" class="">stable — and critically, habitable — over this time period. This stability is a result of the geologic Global Carbon Cycle, which acts to exchange carbon between the solid
Earth,</font></span></div>
<div class=""><span class="" style="text-align:justify"><font face="Georgia" class="">oceans, and atmosphere on timescales of ~1 million years or longer. A detailed understanding of this exchange provides an essential framework for consideration of the origin
and</font></span></div>
<div class=""><span class="" style="text-align:justify"><font face="Georgia" class="">evolution of life, the structure and composition of the deep mantle, and myriad Earth surface processes.</font></span></div>
<div class=""><span class="" style="text-align:justify"><font face="Georgia" class=""><br class="">
</font></span></div>
<div class=""><span class="" style="text-align:justify"><font face="Georgia" class="">Although the lithosphere represents a small proportion of the solid Earth, it is the location of several key processes, linking carbon transfer in the ocean-atmosphere system
to the</font></span></div>
<div class=""><span class="" style="text-align:justify"><font face="Georgia" class="">deep mantle carbon cycle. While the literature has historically focused on volcanic-magmatic processes in the crust, my advances in the observation and modeling of metamorphic</font></span></div>
<div class=""><span class="" style="text-align:justify"><font face="Georgia" class="">reactions demonstrate that rock metamorphism plays an equally important role in carbon mobility.</font></span></div>
<div class=""><font face="Georgia" class=""><br class="">
</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Georgia" class="">I will review the results of two studies: first, a field-based project in the Acadian metamorphic belt of New England reveals that mountain-building has the potential to release</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Georgia" class="">significant CO<sub class="">2</sub> and drive climate change over millions of years. Second, a comprehensive study of an ancient subduction zone in the Cycladic Islands of Greece shows that</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Georgia" class="">metamorphism alone may release about half of all carbon from a subducting slab, driving carbon depletion of the mantle over Earth history. Finally, I will explore future work on</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Georgia" class="">contact metamorphism and its relationship to both long term and catastrophic climate events in deep time.</font></div>
