Water in Earth's deep interior is predicted to be hydroxyl (OH−) stored in nominally anhydrous minerals, profoundly modulating both structure and dynamics of Earth's mantle …

Phase assemblages, melting relations and melt compositions of a dry carbonated pelite (DG2) and a carbonated pelite with 1· 1 wt% H2O (AM) have been experimentally …
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 …
Water transported by subducted oceanic plates changes mineral and rock properties at high pressures and temperatures, affecting the dynamics and evolution of the Earth's interior …
Water is transported into the deep mantle via hydrous minerals in subducting slabs. During subduction, a series of minerals in these slabs such as serpentine or chlorite, Mg–sursassite …

High‐quality single‐crystals of (Al, Fe)‐bearing bridgmanite, Mg0. 88 Fe3+ 0.065 Fe2+ 0.035 Al0. 14Si0. 90O3, of hundreds of micrometer size were synthesized at 24 GPa and …
Stishovite is a key mineral for understanding the deep Earth water cycle because of its potential as a main carrier for water into the transition zone and lower mantle. During …

Melting phase relations have been determined in a model carbonated eclogite (5wt.% CO2) at 10.5–32.0 GPa and 1300–1850° C. The assemblage of silicate minerals coexisting with …
The distribution and transportation of water in Earth's interior depends on the stability of water-bearing phases. The transition zone in Earth's mantle is generally accepted as an …
