Redox state and water content in the upper mantle: Linkages to the atmosphere, hydrosphere and continents

Geochemical and petrologic tools were deployed to investigate the redox state and water content of the earth's upper mantle. Study results are discussed in the context of their linkages to the atmospheric oxygen level, hydrospheric water budget and lithospheric evolution of continents. Because...
