Chemistry of mass transfer during vein formation

Thomas Wagner (1), Paul Bons (2), Achille Marsala (1)

(1) Isotope geochemistry and mineral resources, ETH Zürich
(2) Structural Geology,Tübingen University

Motivation:

• understand mass transfer processes during vein formation
• understand chemistry of fluids involved in vein growth
• test local equilibrium hypothesis for vein growth
• test role of advection and diffusion in vein growth
• test significance of stable isotope tracers
