• A theoretical framework for volcanic degassing chemistry in a comparative planetology perspective and implications for planetary atmospheres (2014, background): “Estimates of volatile c n ents in basalts produced by planetary mantles, either direct (Marty, 2012; Stanley et al., 2011; Saal et al., 2002, 2008; Hauri et al., 2011) or indirect (Gaillard et al., 2013; Kerber et al., 2009; McCubbin et al., 2010), are of a few thousand ppm at best for each of the…”
• Generation, ascent and eruption of magma on the Moon:new insights into source depths, magma supply, intrusions and effusive/explosive eruptions (Part 2: Predicted Emplacement Processes and Observations) (2017, methodology): “exsolution of previously undetected volatiles (Saal et al., 2008; Wetzel et al., 2015) and carbon-metal oxide smelting reactions (Nicholis and Rutherford, 2009).”
• The origin of water in the primitive Moon as revealed by the lunar highlands samples (2014, background): “…highlighted the possibility of late delivery of volatiles to the Moon (Barnes et al., 2013a; Boyce et al., 2010; Füri et al., 2014; Greenwood et al., 2011; Hauri et al., 2011; Hui et al., 2013; Liu et al., 2012; McCubbin et al., 2010a, 2010b, 2011; Saal et al., 2008, 2013; Tartèse et al., 2013).”
• Heterogeneous distribution of H2O in the Martian interior: Implications for the abundance of H2O in depleted and enriched mantle sources (2016, methodology): “Furthermore, analysis of planetary materials from the Moon, Mars, and the eucrite parent body (i.e., asteroid 4 Vesta) have confirmed the presence of H2O within their interiors (Watson et al. 1994; Leshin 2000; Pati~no Douce and Roden 2006; Greenwood et al. 2008, 2011; Saal et al. 2008; Boyce et al.”
• Diffusion of H, C, and O Components in Silicate Melts (2010, background): “For specific modeling involving a melt that is very different from studied melts (such as lunar basalt – Saal et al. 2008; Zhang 2009), it is essential to obtain at least a few data points to verify that the compositional difference does not lead to very different H2O diffusivities.”

• A 3‐D numerical study of the thermal evolution of the Moon after cumulate mantle overturn: The importance of rheology and core solidification (2013, background): “Recent studies suggest that water is more abundant in the lunar interior than previously thought [e.g., Saal et al., 2008].”
• Generation, ascent and eruption of magma on the Moon: New insights into source depths, magma supply, intrusions and effusive/explosive eruptions (Part 1: Theory) (2017, methodology): “…with m = 29.6 via a smelting reaction ( Fogel nd Rutherford, 1995 ) and exsolved smaller amounts of H 2 O ( Hauri t al., 2011 ) and traces of S 2 ( m = 64 kg kmol −1 ) ( Saal et al., 2008 ). n both cases, therefore, a value of m = ∼30 kg kmol −1 seems an dequate approximation for comparisons.”
