This project investigates the behavior of sulfur in the basaltic lavas of Mercury through experimental and theoretical methods. By studying sulfur solubility and crystallization under conditions mimicking Mercury's crust and mantle, the project aims to enhance our understanding of the planet's geological processes and…
Ongoing measurements of the surface of Mercury by the MESSENGER spacecraft (NASA) indicate that it is covered with basaltic lavas unusually rich in sulfur (up to 4 wt.% S).
Such values are significantly higher than those reported for any basaltic composition on Earth.
Understanding the geochemical cycle of sulfur on Mercury is essential to constrain large-scale processes of planetary differentiation due to volcanic activity, crust-mantle formation, and segregation of a Fe-S-Si core.
