Abstract: The rates of Fe–Mg interdiffusion in the Earth’s materials are of fundamental importance to a wide range of geochemistry and geophysics problems. In order that the Earth Scientist may readily apply the available experimentally determined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2018.01.007
Abstract: Abstract Experimental studies have shown that hydrogen embedded as a trace element in mantle mineral structures affects the physical properties of mantle minerals and rocks. Nevertheless, hydrogen concentrations in mantle minerals are much lower than… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019je005950
Abstract: Mars lacks an internally generated magnetic field today. Crustal remanent magnetism and meteorites indicate that a dynamo existed after accretion but died roughly four billion years ago. Standard m... read more here.

DOI: 10.2138/am-2017-5863ccbyncnd
Abstract: Abstract Trace amounts of water in the nominally anhydrous minerals of the upper mantle can dramatically affect their thermodynamic and rheological properties. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) has become a mainstream technique for quantifying small… read more here.
