Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Abundant carbon was identified on Mercury by MESSENGER, which is interpreted as the
remnant of a primordial graphite flotation crust, suggesting that the magma ocean and core …

Experimentally calibrated models to recover pressures and temperatures of magmas are
widely used in igneous petrology. However, large errors, especially in barometry, limit the …

Oceanic volcanic islands have a complex internal structure due to their geological evolution.
La Palma is the second youngest in the Canary Islands. Historical eruptions occurred in the …

The past decades have seen tremendous advances in analytical capabilities regarding the
sensitivity, spatial selectivity, and instrumental precision of U-Th-Pb zircon geochronology …

A new thermodynamic model for silicate melt in the Na2O–CaO–K2O–FeO–MgO–Al2O3–
SiO2–TiO2–Fe2O3–Cr2O3 model system is presented, building on the tholeiitic through to …

The interpretation of phase equilibria and reactions in geological materials is based on
standard thermodynamics that assumes hydrostatic and homogeneous stress conditions …

Structural analysis, U–Pb monazite and xenotime dating, Ar–Ar dating of biotite and
amphibole and thermodynamic modeling of peak metamorphic assemblages allow …

Variations in temperature within the Earth are of great interest because they indicate the
thickness and, consequently, mechanical strength of the lithosphere and density variations …

We expand the scope of HeFESTo by encompassing the rich physics of iron in the mantle,
including the existence of multiple valence and spin states. In our previous papers, we …
