The concentration and distribution of water in the Earth has influenced its evolution throughout its history. Even at the trace levels contained in the planet's deep interior (mantle …
Most magmatism occurring on Earth is conventionally attributed to passive mantle upwelling at mid-ocean ridges, to slab devolatilization at subduction zones, or to mantle plumes …
The high water storage capacity of minerals in Earth's mantle transition zone (410-to 660- kilometer depth) implies the possibility of a deep H2O reservoir, which could cause …
Earth as an Evolving Planetary System, Fourth Edition discusses key topics dealing with the evolution and interaction through time of Earth's crust, mantle, core, atmosphere …

The Western Pacific Triangular Zone (WPTZ) is the frontier of a future supercontinent to be formed at 250 Ma after present. The WPTZ is characterized by double-sided subduction …

It has previously been postulated that the Earth's hydrous mantle transition zone may play a key role in intraplate magmatism, but no confirmatory evidence has been reported. Here we …
The onset of dehydration melting of nominally anhydrous peridotite can be calculated by combination of appropriate mineral/melt partition coefficients for H2O, DHmin/liq, and a …
The water content in Earth's mantle today remains poorly constrained, but the bulk water storage capacity in the solid mantle can be quantified based on experimental data and may …
We discuss the geophysical implications of recent first principles molecular dynamics simulations of MgSiO3 liquid, in particular the findings that the Grüneisen parameter …
