Papers presented to Conference on Deep Earth and Planetary Volatiles : held at Pasadena, California, September 21-23, 1994

Abstract

The following topics are covered in the presented papers: rare gases systematics and mantle structure; volatiles in the Earth; impact degassing of water and noble gases from silicates; D/H ratios and H2O contents of mantle-derived amphibole megacrysts; thermochemistry of dense hydrous magnesium silicates; modeling of the effect of water on mantle rheology; noble gas isotopes and halogens in volatile-rich inclusions in diamonds; origin and loss of the volatiles of the terrestrial planets; structure and the stability of hydrous minerals at high pressure; recycling of volatiles at subduction zones and various other topics.
