Distribution and transport of hydrogen in the lithospheric mantle: A review
S Demouchy, N Bolfan-Casanova - Lithos, 2016 - Elsevier
The minerals constituting the Earth's upper mantle are nominally anhydrous silicates
(NAMs). However they do contain hydrogen as a trace element, decorating point defects in …

High water content in Mesozoic primitive basalts of the North China Craton and implications on the destruction of cratonic mantle lithosphere
QK Xia, J Liu, SC Liu, I Kovacs, M Feng… - Earth and Planetary …, 2013 - Elsevier
It has been suggested that the longevity of cratons (ie ancient and stable cores of continents)
is related in part to the low water content of their deep mantle roots; this gives them a higher …

Rift-induced disruption of cratonic keels drives kimberlite volcanism
Kimberlites are volatile-rich, occasionally diamond-bearing magmas that have erupted
explosively at Earth's surface in the geologic past,–. These enigmatic magmas, originating …
