Study Detects Mantle-Derived Helium in Zambian Hot Springs, Supporting Suspected Kafue Rift Activity

A new study published Monday in Frontiers in Earth Science reports elevated helium-3 levels in gas samples from hot springs and geothermal wells above Zambia's suspected Kafue Rift, providing geochemical evidence that the area is geologically active. The research, led by Rūta Kar…
