Water, Melting, and the Deep Earth H 2 O Cycle (2006, background): “It has been suggested that DHMS may be stabilized to high temperature by fluorine substitution (Williams & Hemley 2001, Larsen et al. 2003).”
Water and astrobiology (2007, background): “Current estimates range from 0.1 to 1.5 additional hydrospheres in the mantle and up to 100 in the core, although actual amounts in the core could be much smaller than this, even zero (Williams and Hemley, 2001; Hirschmann, 2006).”
A hydrogen-based oxidation mechanism relevant to planetary formation (2013, background): “Water contents in the lower mantle are probably low compared to the overall Earth budget (Williams and Hemley, 2001).”
The solid Earth’s influence on sea level (2013, background): “Much of Earth’s water may be currently stored in hydrated minerals within Earth’s mantle (Hirschmann, 2006; Ohtani, 2005; Williams and Hemley, 2001), particularly within the transition zone (Inoue et al., 2010; Karato, 2011).”
Whole-mantle convection and the transition-zone water filter (2002, background): “Transition-zone minerals have unusual properties relative to upper-mantle minerals, including water solubilit”
