This paper completes our efforts to build a mantle water capacity model begun a few years ago. A model for the Earth was the first step, and it was published last year on @AguAdvances. (2/x) https://t.co/jn92p5l6er

On Earth, there could be 3 times more water below the surface (in the mantle) then all the water in the oceans. Cool!
"*on* Earth" because there's several oceans worth of water deep in the mantle. The total amount of water within the Earth might be 3x more than what's on the surface. https://t.co/sRZ6VS3VLE https://t.co/DzWGJSnT8a https://t.co/hkfoHnhBCn
Constraining the Volume of Earth's Early Oceans With a Temperature‐Dependent Mantle Water Storage Capacity Model https://t.co/1IJvpQV3Rd
𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲. 3.2 billion years ago Earth had way less land than today. So where'd the water go? Mineral formation. As the Mantle cooled, the formation of especially Olivine drained the oceans, to expose land, as tectonics caused uplift. (free PDF) https://

For the entire #Earth's mantle, “HERE IS” how to calculate the water storage capacities despite complex rocks. https://t.co/MywDETM5C1
This is an intriguing scientific paper... for those of us who are not of the geologist persuasion, the Plain Language Summary is the second paragraph: https://t.co/YpYDFbOEBs
See this thread from the fantastic @2jdong that nicely summarizes what we did. So proud, and so relieved to have this out after so many rejections! Thanks to everyone involved.
Our new paper (led by @2jdong) is out here: https://t.co/mc0NHIfwil With coverage in Science Mag (https://t.co/CbhjZEhKVK) and EOS (https://t.co/oQOTbAhugU)!

New paper out today in @AguAdvances: we quantify the water capacity in Earth's mantle through time and suggest that some water in the mantle today may have resided on Earth's early surface, forming a bigger ocean in early Archean. https://t.co/jn92p5CHD1 (
