Direct Viscosity Measurement of Peridotite Melt to Lower‐Mantle Conditions: A Further Support for a Fractional Magma‐Ocean Solidification at the Top of the Lower Mantle
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2021-10-05)As evidenced by isotope geochemistry, the persistence of primitive reservoirs indicates that the earth's lower mantle is likely to be heterogeneous. Such heterogeneity could be a legacy from magma‐ocean (MO) solidification. ... -
Modeling the Viscosity of Anhydrous and Hydrous Volcanic Melts
(Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021-08-30)The viscosity of volcanic melts is a dominant factor in controlling the fluid dynamics of magmas and thereby eruption style. It can vary by several orders of magnitude, depending on temperature, chemical composition, and ...
