Hydrogen and deuterium isotopic evidence indicates that the source of terrestrial water was
mostly meteorites, with additional influx from nebula gas during accretion. There are two …

This study provides a comprehensive review of the crystal preferred orientation (CPO) of
olivine and orthopyroxene in the upper mantle, and of several hydrous minerals in the …

Shear-wave splitting provides insight into geodynamic processes such as lithospheric
deformation and upper mantle flow. This study presents shear wave splitting parameters …

Transform faults accommodate the lateral motions between lithospheric plates, producing
large earthquakes. Away from active transform boundaries, former oceanic transform faults …

An experimental study is presented of the elastic anisotropy of a shale at different length
scales probed by a cross-scale, big data-based, statistical nanoindentation technique. A …

The lithospheric mantle is intrinsically heterogeneous and anisotropic. These two properties
govern the repartition of deformation, controlling intraplate strain localization and …

Subduction zones transport water into Earth's deep interior through slab subduction.
Serpentine minerals, the primary hydration product of ultramafic peridotite, are abundant in …

A number of possible hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of mid-
lithospheric discontinuities (MLDs), typically characterized by∼ 2-6% reductions in seismic …

The radiation-induced volumetric expansion (RIVE) of aggregate-forming minerals causes
damage in concrete exposed to high levels of fast neutrons fluence (>\, ∼\, 10^ 19\, n\, cm …
