Electrical conductivity structures of the Earth's mantle estimated from the magnetotelluric and
geomagnetic deep sounding methods generally show increase of conductivity from 10− 4 …

The electrical properties of rocks and minerals are controlled by thermodynamic parameters
like pressure and temperature and by the chemistry of the medium in which the charge …

Various methods for inferring the water distribution in Earth's mantle are reviewed including
geochemical and geophysical methods. The geochemical approach using the water …

It is well known that water (as a source of hydrogen) affects the physical and chemical
properties of minerals—for example, plastic deformation,, and melting temperature—and …

Presenting a coherent synthesis of lithosphere studies, this book covers a range of
geophysical methods (seismic reflection, refraction, and receiver function methods; elastic …

The distribution of water in the Earth's interior reflects the way in which the Earth has
evolved, and has an important influence on its material properties. Minerals in the transition …

Magnetotelluric (MT) data can image the electrical resistivity of the entire lithospheric column
and are therefore one of the most important data sources for understanding the structure …

The electrical properties of near-surface geomaterials have been hugely important in the
development of many modern welldeveloped countries, and will play a leading role in the …

The oceanic asthenosphere is observed to have high electrical conductivity, which is highly
anisotropic in some locations,. In the directions parallel and normal to the plate motion, the …

Grain size reduction and gouge formation are found to be ubiquitous in brittle faults at all
scales,,,, and most slip along mature faults is observed to have been localized within gouge …
