Silicate melts are complicated in structure and composition. Hence, diffusion in a melt (in this
chapter, a melt includes both liquid and glass) can be very complicated due to the presence …

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 …

Experimental diffusion couples were used to study chemical diffusion between molten
rhyolite and basalt with special emphasis on the associated fractionation of calcium and …

Ion microprobe measurements of the concentrations of H2O, CO2, F, S and Cl and the
isotopic composition of hydrogen are reported for populations of olivine-hosted melt …

Improved versions of Lunar Prospector thermal and epithermal neutron data were studied to
help discriminate between potential delivery and retention mechanisms for hydrogen on the …

This paper describes microanalysis techniques using secondary ion mass spectrometry
(SIMS) to measure the abundances and isotopic compositions of hydrogen, carbon, fluorine …

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 …

In this investigation pyroclast structures are used to constrain degassing in basaltic lava
fountains. Vesicle size, shape, number density, interconnectedness and packing character …

Dissolved H2O in silicate melts and glasses plays a crucial role in volcanic eruptions on
terrestrial planets and affects glass properties and magma evolution. In this paper, major …

The Earth's uppermost asthenosphere is generally associated with low seismic wave
velocity and high electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity anomalies observed from …
