Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions
Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Fossilized Melts in Mantle Wedge Peridotites [PDF]
AbstractThe shallow oxidized asthenosphere may contain a small fraction of potassic silicate melts that are enriched in incompatible trace elements and volatiles. Here, to determine the chemical composition of such melt, we analysed fossilized melt inclusions, preserved as multiphase solid inclusions, from an orogenic garnet peridotite in the Bohemian ...

Mantle melting as a function of water content beneath back-arc basins [PDF]
Subduction zone magmas are characterized by high concentrations of H_(2)O, presumably derived from the subducted plate and ultimately responsible for melting at this tectonic setting.

Stability of (Mg,Fe)SiO3 perovskite and the structure of the lowermost mantle [PDF]
Thermodynamic analysis shows that (Mg,Fe)SiO3 perovskite is stable throughout the likely pressure, temperature and compositional regime of the Earth's mantle.

A numerical mass balance calculation model for the adiabatic melting of a dry to hydrous peridotite has been programmed in order to simulate the trace element compositions of basalts from mid‐ocean ridges, back‐arc basins, ocean islands, and large ...

The Kesem-Megezez Section is located on the western escarpment of the main Ethiopian rift, central Ethiopia, part of the northwestern Ethiopia plateau, and hosts both flood basalts (Kesem Oligocene basalts) and shield volcano basalts (Megezez Miocene ...

Physical State of the Deep Interior of the CoRoT-7b Exoplanet [PDF]
The present study takes the CoRoT-7b exoplanet as an analogue for massive terrestrial planets to investigate conditions, under which intrinsic magnetic fields could be sustained in liquid cores.

Mantle partial melting produced the volcanic crust of Mercury. Here, the authors numerically model the formation of post-impact melt sheets and find that mantle convection was weak at around 3.7–3.8 Ga and that the melt sheets of Caloris and Rembrandt ...

Melt channelization in ascending mantle [PDF]
We study a model for channels of magma flow within mantle undergoing decompression melting. Cylindrical conduits in a viscous, porous, compacting matrix are considered, and it is found that the dynamics of the conduit walls are governed by the competition between melting (caused by decompression) and viscous closure (caused by the reduced pressure in ...
