This experimental study examines the mineral/melt partitioning of incompatible trace elements among high-Ca clinopyroxene, garnet, and hydrous silicate melt at upper mantle pressure and temperature conditions. Experiments ...

It is commonly assumed that an olivine-hosted melt inclusion is chemically isolated from the melt surrounding its host crystal. This assumption is probably valid for slow-diffusing, incompatible trace elements, but for ...

This study investigates the effects of variations in the relative fugacities of oxygen and sulfur on the wetting of mantle olivine by molten sulfide. Experiments were performed on mixtures of San Carlos olivine and synthetic ...
