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 …

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 …

A dry lunar mantle reservoir for young mare basalts of Chang'e-5

S Hu, H He, J Ji, Y Lin, H Hui, M Anand, R Tartese… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
The distribution of water in the Moon's interior carries implications for the origin of the Moon,
the crystallization of the lunar magma ocean and the duration of lunar volcanism. The …

High water content in Mesozoic primitive basalts of the North China Craton and implications on the destruction of cratonic mantle lithosphere

QK **a, J Liu, SC Liu, I Kovacs, M Feng… - Earth and Planetary …, 2013 - Elsevier
It has been suggested that the longevity of cratons (ie ancient and stable cores of continents)
is related in part to the low water content of their deep mantle roots; this gives them a higher …

Experimental study of the influence of water on melting and phase assemblages in the upper mantle

DH Green, WO Hibberson, A Rosenthal… - Journal of …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
The role of water in the uppermost mantle has been explored to 6 GPa (∼ 200 km) by a
novel experimental approach in which the silicate melting solidus, the stability of hydrous …

Constraining the volume of Earth's early oceans with a temperature‐dependent mantle water storage capacity model

J Dong, RA Fischer, LP Stixrude… - Agu …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The water content in Earth's mantle today remains poorly constrained, but the bulk water
storage capacity in the solid mantle can be quantified based on experimental data and may …

Thermal structure and melting conditions in the mantle beneath the Basin and Range province from seismology and petrology

T Plank, DW Forsyth - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
To better constrain the temperature structure in the upper mantle, we jointly invert seismic
surface wave velocities and basalt thermobarometry. New measurements of the water …

Toward a unified hydrous olivine electrical conductivity law

E Gardés, F Gaillard, P Tarits - Geochemistry, Geophysics …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
It has long been proposed that water incorporation in olivine has dramatic effects on the
upper mantle properties, affecting large‐scale geodynamics, and triggering high electrical …

Lower-mantle water reservoir implied by the extreme stability of a hydrous aluminosilicate

MG Pamato, R Myhill, T Boffa Ballaran, DJ Frost… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
The source rocks for basaltic lavas that form ocean islands are often inferred to have risen
as part of a thermal plume from the lower mantle. These rocks are water-rich compared with …

From stars to diverse mantles, melts, crusts, and atmospheres of rocky exoplanets

CM Guimond, H Wang, F Seidler… - … in Mineralogy and …, 2024 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The advent of radial velocity (RV) and transit photometry method has resulted in the
detection of more than 5000 exoplanets since 1995. Of these detected planets, a significant …
