If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Rachael Rhodes.

For over a decade I have been working to answer the question ‘where did Earth source its water from?’ The answer may lie within igneous mantle plume rocks. This talk will focus on my 2021 expedition to Paallavvik Island, in search of geochemically anomalous picrite samples from the cliff sections of this uninhabited, polar-bear infested island, which sits off the east coast of Baffin Island.
