In this chapter, an overview of the findings to date from laboratory measurements of diffusion
of cations in the accessory mineral phases zircon, monazite, apatite, titanite (sphene) and …

This chapter presents an overview of diffusion data for pyroxenes, amphiboles and micas.
These minerals are grouped together since amphiboles and micas are closely related in …

Coupled information about the time-dependent production and temperature-dependent
diffusion of radiogenic argon in feldspars can be used to constrain the thermal evolution …

We show that fluid volumes residing within the Precambrian crystalline basement account
for ca 30% of the total groundwater inventory of the Earth (> 30 million km 3). The residence …

Magnesium carbonates have been identified within the landing site of the Perseverance
rover mission. This study reviews terrestrial analog environments and textural, mineral …

Feldspars are among the most common minerals in the Earth's crust, and are found in a
variety of rock types. Diffusion in feldspars has been studied for well over half a century, with …

Although geologists have been thinking and writing about diffusion in minerals, magmas,
and rocks since early in the 20th century (eg, Penrose 1914; Van Orstrand 1915; Bowen …

Chemical zoning in igneous minerals is a potential record of the time, processes, and
thermal evolution during the lifetime of a given magma reservoir. Abundances of volatiles …

The Moon's surface is directly exposed to the space environment and subject to alteration by
space weathering. One agent of space weathering, the solar wind, enriches the lunar …

Helium diffusion in carbonates under mantle pressure is crucial for understanding thermal
and chemical evolution of mantle. Based on the density functional theory (DFT) and the the …
