The transport of water from subducting crust into the mantle is mainly dictated by the stability
of hydrous minerals in subduction zones. The thermal structure of subduction zones is a key …

Hydrous melting driven by changes in H2O storage capacity may occur in a variety of
settings in the mantle, including in oceanic basalt sources and in deeper regions above and …

Accretion left the terrestrial planets depleted in volatile components. Here I examine
evidence for the hypothesis that the Moon and the Earth were essentially dry immediately …

We determined P-wave tomography of the crust and upper mantle under the Changbai
volcanic area in Northeast Asia by using 289,318 arrival-time data from 4802 local …

▪ Abstract The subducted lithosphere is composed of a complex pattern of chemical systems
that undergo continuous and discontinuous phase transformation, through pressure and …

We present a new model to explain one of the biggest tectonic problems of Earth Sciences
today, namely, how and why did the Archean sub-continental lithospheric mantle under the …

The presence of water strongly influences the structure, composition and dynamics of the
Earth's deep mantle,,,. Hydrous magnesium-rich silicates play an important role in …

The phase relations in the peridotite–water system to the top of the lower mantle reveal that
a certain amount of water can be transported and stored in the transition zone by various …

Recent results of high-resolution seismic tomography and mineral physics experiments are
used to study mantle dynamics of Western Pacific and East Asia. The most important …

▪ Abstract The mechanisms of exchange of hydrogen between the deep interior and surface
of Earth, as well as the means of retention and possible abundance of hydrogen deep within …
