The dynamics and evolution of Venus' mantle are of first-order relevance for the origin and
modification of the tectonic and volcanic structures we observe on Venus today. Solid-state …

Carbon emission at volcanic centers requires a constant balance between output (mostly by
volcanism, either at plate boundaries or intraplate) and input (mostly at trench settings) of …

Seismic S-wave receiver functions (SRF) are a uniquely powerful tool for imaging velocity
discontinuities within the upper mantle. SRF data frequently contain negative phases at …

The concentration of carbon in primary mid‐ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), and the
associated fluxes of CO2 outgassed at ocean ridges, is examined through new data …

More than a third of mid-ocean ridges have a spreading rate of less than 20 millimetres a
year. The lack of deep imaging data means that factors controlling melting and mantle …

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 …

Abstract Knowledge of the occurrence and mobility of carbonate-rich melts in the Earth's
mantle is important for understanding the deep carbon cycle and related geochemical and …

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 …

The CHONS elements that constitute the outgassed atmosphere and exosphere have likely
been delivered by chondritic materials to the Earth during planetary accretion and …

The low-velocity zone (LVZ) is a persistent seismic feature in a broad range of geological
contexts. It coincides in depth with the asthenosphere, a mantle region of lowered viscosity …
