HeFESTo: Thermodynamics of Iron in the Mantle
IRON, IRON ALLOYS, AND IRON-BEARING PHASES IN PLANETARY INTERIORS II POSTER
mineral and rock physics | 14 december 2023
Lars P. Stixrude, Carolina R. Lithgow-Bertelloni
Iron and oxygen are the two most abundant elements in Earth, and the interaction between them sets the first order separation of our planet into core ...

Exploring Mantle Convection Styles through Earth's History: The Role of Phase Transitions
EXPLORING EARTH’S EVOLUTION: THE HADEAN THROUGH THE PRESENT I POSTER
study of earth's deep interior | 14 december 2023
Ranpeng Li, Juliane Dannberg, Rene Gassmoeller, Ca...
Mineral phase transitions can either hinder or accelerate mantle flow through their effect on buoyancy and latent heat. For example, endothermic trans...
