The study of meteorites was re-initiated in our laboratory after a decade of inactivity, with a present strong focus on the study of S-isotopes in enstatite chondrites.

Stable isotope geochemistry
Research themes
The characterisation of mantle volatile is a long standing subject of our group, with many discoveries over the last 40 years, from the characterisation of mantle, nitrogen, hydrogen, chlorine and sulfur isotope compositions.
Interpretations in stable isotope geochemistry can be limited by available experimental determinations/investigations of isotope fractionation(s). Recently or presently, in our laboratory, this includes :
Alteration de la lithosphère océanique
Behaving both as incompatible and volatile elements, carbon, halogens (among them chlorine and bromine), water and sulfur occur in both magmatic liquids and volcanic gases.
