Komatiites: their geochemistry and origins

Online talk summarising a review paper written with Nick Arndt, coming out next year. Thanks to @geohug and Jessica Keast for hosting me, and @magicmike_notastripper for a great introduction before the start of this recording!

This talk gives a brief introduction to komatiites, how they are defined and their occurrence, before diving into some important details about komatiite geochemistry. I then cover some key constraints on how komatiites formed before trying to come up with some models for their formation.

The accepted version of the review article is available here:

Awesome talk, would be nice to see if there´s a possibility to use isotope abundances to better constraint models about komatiite formations
