Isotopic tracing of fluids sources and transfer in the crust
Noble gases occur in low concentration on Earth and are relatively inert, making them good tracers of fluid interactions. Contrary to most stable isotopes or major elements commonly used as geochemical tracers, noble gases are less susceptible to water/rock interactions modifications. Due to their w...

Noble gases occur in low concentration on Earth and are relatively inert, making them good tracers of fluid interactions. Contrary to most stable isotopes or major elements commonly used as geochemical tracers, noble gases are less susceptible to water/rock interactions modifications. Due to their widely variable ratios among the three main Earth reservoirs (mantle, continental crust, and atmosphere), the He and Ne isotopic systems are of particular interest, providing information on the source of fluids. The main goal of this thesis was to detect the sources of crustal and geothermal fluids in different geological and geotectonic settings with a specific emphasis on precising transport processes in the crust: : (i) isotopic monitoring and survey in North Iceland, (ii) tracing the source of He in a continental basin in Central France, and (iii) tracing the source of He in the Lake Abhe geothermal field (Djibouti). From the results reported in this thesis, helium isotopes show that mantle input is present in different geotectonic contexts, not necessarily linked to active volcanism or extension, such as the case of off-rift zones in Iceland (Chapter 4) and of the Paris Basin (Chapter 5), the latter inserted in a continental crust setting.
