ABSTRACT The reactive flow of melt through the mantle or crust triggers chemical disequilibrium, driving reactions that significantly alter the mineral assemblages and physical properties of host rocks. However, the degrees of chemical difference required to initiate these reactions and their timescale remain poorly understood.

ABSTRACT The southern Dora‐Maira Massif, where coesite was first discovered 40 years ago, is among the most studied and better known example of high/ultra‐high‐pressure (HP/UHP) terranes. Previous to this study, the Polymetamorphic Basement Complex of the southern Dora‐Maira Massif has been defined as a nappe stack consisting of three juxtaposed ...

Abstract Using our recently developed X‐ray diffraction based force constants approach, we have determined the equilibrium Si isotope fractionation between omphacite/garnet, quartz/kyanite, and quartz/zircon at temperatures relevant to the petrogenesis. We find that Na strongly affects the Si isotope fractionation between omphacite and garnet.

Grain Boundary Diffusion of Ferropericlase: Implications for the Core‐Mantle Interaction
Abstract Geophysical observations indicate that iron enrichment of various spatial scales may be present in the lowermost mantle. Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain the process of iron infiltration from the core to the mantle, each with its own inherent limitations.

Formula for the Chandler Period (Free Wobble of Planetary Bodies)
Abstract If the rotational equilibrium of a planetary body is disturbed, the rotation pole responds with a cyclical motion. The duration of one cycle is referred to as the Chandler period, and, when viewed from space, the body wobbles. Because planets are not rigid, the wobble period differs from the Euler period by the factor 1−kX/kf $\left(1-{k}_ ...
