  • Zermatt, Switzerland)
    Institut für Geologie Media release / 6 June 2018 Water transport to the Earth’s interior: Clues from high-pressure Alpine rocks (Zermatt, Switzerland) Water in the Earth’s interior influences many geological processes. The evolution of our planet and the development of life is tightly linked to the deep water cycle. Rocks from Zermatt (Switzerland) document formation at the ocean floor, followed by subduction to 80 km depth prior their incorporation into the Alpine belt. The detailed investigation of these rocks by researchers from the University of Bern provides evidence how and how much water can be incorporated in minerals at these subduction zone conditions and how water might be transported to even greater depth. The results are published in the journal “Geology”. The shallow water cycle that links atmosphere and hydrosphere is crucial for life on Earth. However, there exists also a deep water cycle in which water is transported over millions of years through the Earth’s interior. Hydrothermal alteration of oceanic crust results in the formation of minerals that incorporate water into the crystal structure. Through plate tectonics and subduction of such oceanic crust, the hydrous minerals are transported to increasingly greater depths. As the rocks are heated up during burial, the hydrous minerals break down at 50-100 km depth and are replaced by anhydrous minerals resulting in the liberation of the stored water. Would it be possible that traces of water are still incorporated into these newly formed minerals? Would this provide a mechanism to transport water to even greater depth and how would this influence the very long term, hundred million years water cycle? To answer these questions, PhD student Elias Kempf and Prof.

THE CENTENARY MEET AT ZERMATT, 1957 TI-IE CENTENARY MEET AT ZERMATT, 1957 Pages from a Diary BY SIR JOHN I-IUNT wo days after the Raclette party on Riffelalp, our party returned to the Betemps hut, after an exceptionally cold and windy traverse of the Lyskamm, which was, however, noteworthy I for the membership of the party itself; it included the leaders of two Swiss Everest Expeditions, Eduard Wyss-Dunant and Albert Eggler, as well as Fritz IJuchsinger, who, with Ernst Reiss, made the first ascent of Lhotse in 1956. .. Our next objective was the Brei thorn via the Klein Triftje (or Young ridge) and we were busy with preparations from the moment of our return to the hut. The composition of the party for this next expedition changed with the arrival of George Band and Chris Brasher, hot-foot from the Bregag­ lia; my wife and Wyss-Dunant dropped out, and Hobhouse, Tyson and I were joined by Eggler, Luchsinger and Fritz Gansser . August 22. We left the hut at 3 a.m. in clear starlight. Band and Brasher got away to a flying start and made a great pace across the Grenz glacier towards the foot of the buttress thrown down from the I{lein Triftj e; we could see their lantern almost half a mile ahead of us when we were barely half-way across. Misfortune struck us early, for at brief intervals both Luchsinger and I broke our crampons on the rough going; we managed to make temporary repairs, but I was short of t,;vo of the inside points, which proved awkward later on.
