Water in the Earth's interior: distribution and origin

AH Peslier, M Schönbächler, H Busemann… - Space Science …, 2017 - Springer
The concentration and distribution of water in the Earth has influenced its evolution
throughout its history. Even at the trace levels contained in the planet's deep interior (mantle …

Diffusion data in silicate melts

Y Zhang, H Ni, Y Chen - Reviews in Mineralogy and …, 2010 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Atomic scale diffusion in silicate melts plays a critical role in a variety of magmatic
processes, as long recognized by geologists (Bowen 1921). Geochemists have investigated …

An H2O–CO2 mixed fluid saturation model compatible with rhyolite-MELTS

MS Ghiorso, GAR Gualda - Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 2015 - Springer
A thermodynamic model for estimating the saturation conditions of H 2 O–CO 2 mixed fluids
in multicomponent silicate liquids is described. The model extends the capabilities of rhyolite …

Distribution and transport of hydrogen in the lithospheric mantle: A review

S Demouchy, N Bolfan-Casanova - Lithos, 2016 - Elsevier
The minerals constituting the Earth's upper mantle are nominally anhydrous silicates
(NAMs). However they do contain hydrogen as a trace element, decorating point defects in …

Hydrogen isotopes in lunar volcanic glasses and melt inclusions reveal a carbonaceous chondrite heritage

AE Saal, EH Hauri, JA Van Orman, MJ Rutherford - Science, 2013 - science.org
Water is perhaps the most important molecule in the solar system, and determining its origin
and distribution in planetary interiors has important implications for understanding the …

Diffusion in minerals and melts: theoretical background

Y Zhang - Reviews in mineralogy and geochemistry, 2010 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Diffusion is due to thermally activated atomic-scale random motion of particles (atoms, ions
and molecules) in minerals, glasses, melts, fluids, and gases (Fig. 1). The random motion …

Bubble nucleation in magmas: a dominantly heterogeneous process?

T Shea - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2017 - Elsevier
Bubble nucleation is at the heart of magma ascent and degassing. Nucleation kinetics
control how easily a magma exsolves its volatiles, and thereby its explosivity close to the …

The evolution of the lunar crust

SM Elardo, CM Pieters, D Dhingra… - … in Mineralogy and …, 2023 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
1609 AD marked the beginning of the modern scientific exploration of the Moon's crust when
Thomas Harriot and later Galileo Galilei made the first recorded maps of the nearside with …

Electrical conductivity of hydrous basaltic melts: implications for partial melting in the upper mantle

H Ni, H Keppler, H Behrens - Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 2011 - Springer
The Earth's uppermost asthenosphere is generally associated with low seismic wave
velocity and high electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity anomalies observed from …

Explosive-effusive volcanic eruption transitions caused by sintering

FB Wadsworth, EW Llewellin, J Vasseur… - Science …, 2020 - science.org
Silicic volcanic activity has long been framed as either violently explosive or gently effusive.
However, recent observations demonstrate that explosive and effusive behavior can occur …
