The concentration and distribution of water in the Earth has influenced its evolution
throughout its history. Even at the trace levels contained in the planet's deep interior (mantle …

Discovery of coesite, diamond, and extreme 18O-depletion in eclogites from the Dabie–Sulu
orogen in central-east China has contributed much to our understanding of subduction of …

Most minerals of Earth's upper mantle contain small amounts of hydrogen, structurally bound
as hydroxyl (OH). The OH concentration in each mineral species is variable, in some cases …

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 …

Experiments on the stability of hydrous minerals likely to be present in the Earth's mantle
provide constraints on the distribution of water in the mantle, and the form in which it is …

We present the results of an experimental study of the partitioning of water between common
upper mantle minerals (olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, garnet) and silicate melt …

The Dabie–Sulu Triassic orogen in central-eastern China was created by northward
subduction of the Yangtze cratonal plate beneath the Sino-Korean craton. Eclogites, garnet …

Differences in the viscosity of the earth's upper mantle beneath the western US (∼ 1018–
1019 Pa s) and global average values based on glacial isostatic adjustment and other data …

Several of the supposedly anhydrous major minerals of the upper mantle have been shown
to regularly contain small amounts of hydrogen. The concentrations measured in the most …

The trace element compositions of eclogites, blueschists and mafic granulites from high-
pressure terranes have been analysed to investigate element losses and fractionation that …
