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 …

Many studies exist on magmatic volatiles (H, C, N, F, S, Cl) in and on the Moon, within the
last several years, that have cast into question the post-Apollo view of lunar formation, the …

Rapidly increasing development of nuclear power stimulates the exploration of low-cost and
highly efficient materials to selectively remove uranium (VI) from contaminated wastewater …

The howardite, eucrite and diogenite (HED) clan of meteorites are ultramafic and mafic
igneous rocks and impact-engendered fragmental debris derived from a thoroughly …

Determining the origin of water and the timing of its accretion within the inner solar system is
important for understanding the dynamics of planet formation. The timing of water accretion …

We conducted a petrologic study of apatite within 12 Martian meteorites, including 11
shergottites and one basaltic regolith breccia. These data were combined with previously …

The CHONS elements that constitute the outgassed atmosphere and exosphere have likely
been delivered by chondritic materials to the Earth during planetary accretion and …

Abstract Apatite (Ca 5 (PO 4) 3 (OH, F, Cl)) is one of the main host of halogens in magmatic
and metamorphic rocks and plays a unique role during fluid–rock interaction as it …

Apatite-melt partitioning experiments were conducted in a piston-cylinder press at 1.0–1.2
GPa and 950–1000° C using an Fe-rich basaltic starting composition and an oxygen …

The presence of H 2 O within differentiated terrestrial bodies in the inner Solar System is
well established; however, the source (s) of this H 2 O and the time of its arrival to the inner …
