The high‐temperature measurements of elastic constants and related temperature
derivatives of nine minerals of interest to geophysical and geochemical theories of the …

Methods for the preparation of amorphous phases by means of high pressures are reviewed
briefly. The solid-state amorphization of various elements (carbon, germanium, silicon) …

A map of the ocean basins (Fig. 5.1) shows that their most conspicuous topographic feature
is the system of mid-oceanic ridges, the crests of which rise on average 1000-3000 m above …

Chemical geodynamics ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be completely retired in October
2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS interface at that point. SAO/NASA …

Enlarged and fully updated, this new edition takes into account the considerable
experimental and theoretical progress recently made in the field. Introduction to the Physics …

Structural geologists are well aware of the fact that isotropic rocks are quite exceptional in
nature. Whicheverorigin, sedimentary, metamorphicormagmatic, rocks are shaped with a …

Since Skinner [75] compiled the thermal expansion data of substances of geological interest,
many new measurements on oxides, carbonates, and silicates have been made by x-ray …

The bulk chemical composition of the Upper Mantle (“pyrolite”) is derived from experimental
and petrological studies of the complementary relationships between basaltic magmas and …

Comparison of seismic velocities in mantle minerals, under mantle conditions, with seismic
data is a first step toward constraining mantle chemistry. The calculation, however, is …

We compare the predictions of compositional models of the mantle transition zone to
observed seismic properties by constructing phase diagrams in the MgO‐FeO‐CaO‐Al2O3 …
