Slab melting as a barrier to deep carbon subduction
TL;DR: It is shown that the majority of slab geotherms will intersect a deep depression along the melting curve of carbonated oceanic crust at depths of approximately 300 to 700 kilometres, creating a barrier to direct carbonate recycling into the deep mantle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep mantle cycling of oceanic crust: evidence from diamonds and their mineral inclusions.

TL;DR: This work analyzes superdeep diamonds from Juina-5 kimberlite, Brazil, and concludes that the deep carbon cycle extends into the lower mantle, because the diamond hosts have carbon isotope signatures consistent with surface-derived carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multinuclear magnetic resonance study of the structure of hydrous albite glasses
TL;DR: In this article, the structures of a series of hydrous albite glasses quenched from melts at high pressures and temperatures have been studied using 29Si, 23Na, 27Al, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance.

TL;DR: High levels of cristobalite in respirable ash raise concerns about adverse health effects of long-term human exposure to ash from lava dome eruptions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural controls on the solubility of CO2 in silicate melts: Part I: bulk solubility data
TL;DR: In this paper, the solubility of a wide range of melt compositions in the following systems: SiO 2 -Na 2 O -Al 2 O 3 + CO 2 (SNA) at 2.0 GPa and 1600°C; SNA+CaO (SNAC) and SNA + MgO+Ca O (MSNAC) at 1.5 GPa, 1275-1400°C, and for several natural magma compositions (Mg- and Ca-rich melilitites, andesite and phonolite)
