From Magma Ocean to Core–Mantle Boundary: The Key Role of Hydrous Ferropericlase in Shaping Deep Earth’s Low-Velocity Anomalies
HPHT experiments assisted with NanoSIMS demonstrate that hydrous ferropericlase, stable in the early basal magma ocean, is an efficient water reservoir and may provide a new explanation for the origin of Earth’s deep low-velocity anomalies.
