The American Geophysical Union selects a small number of key papers from the thousands published each month in AGU journals to highlight. For July, 2012, the AGU has selected a paper written by DIAS scientists.
The paper is published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems and is written on a new model to estimate water in the Earth’s mantle. The work, by Senior Professor Alan G. Jones with Schroedinger Fellow Mark Muller and Post-Doctoral Fellow Javier Fullea, of the School of Cosmic Physics, together with a U.S. colleague Dr Rob Evans at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, examines current models based on laboratory studies for water within nominally anhydrous mantle rocks, and shows them all to be inconsistent with geophysical and petrological observations. A new model is proposed that is consistent with the field observations. The work underpinning the paper was part of the Southern African MagnetoTelluric EXperiment (SAMTEX) and was funded by Science Foundation Ireland, the U.S. National Science Foundation and the South African Department of Science and Technology, as well as industry sponsors.
More information on the paper can be found at: http://www.agu.org/cgi-bin/highlights/highlights.cgi?action=show&doi=10.1029/2012GC004055&jc=gc
The paper is available from Friday 13 July on the AGU Press page under Journal Highlights: http://www.agu.org/news/press/

Nice work 👏 twitter.com/dias_geophysic…
Following on from our post, highlighting inspiring #WomeninResearch and encouraging #MondayMotiviation to explore these subjects. @ChantalKobel presents Celticist, Nessa Ní Shéaghdha and her contributions to the discipline youtu.be/LGPLltjTBKw #DIASdiscovers
We have entered the last month to capture that amazing photo of the sky and win our Astrophotography competition. We are accepting photographs taken between 01 January 2020 and 31 March 2021. You can submit an entry up to Friday 02nd April 2021. More: dias.ie/reachforthesta…
Meet the Judges of our "Reach for the Stars" Astrophotography competition! @petertgallagher is Head of @DIASAstronomy & has spent the past two decades studying the Sun its impacts on the Earth. To learn more and submit an entry see dias.ie/reachforthesta… #DIASdiscovers
She has over 15 years’ experience working in PR and communications and has wide-ranging experience of providing strategic communications support to organisations. Learn more about the competition and submit an entry 👉dias.ie/reachforthesta… #DIASdiscovers #astrophotography
Meet the Judges of our "Reach for the Stars" Astrophotography competition! @MartinaPQuinn is the Founder & Managing Director of @helloalicepr.
Want to learn more about what's happening on Mars? Check out our public lecture from November delivered Dr John Clinton and titled MarsQuakes! (5/5) youtu.be/_Lp0oLJ8Ahs
And then this Thursday @NASAMars Perseverance rover reaches Mars, which will try to land in a near equatorial crater called Jezero. Here you can see a possible route around the crater. (4/5)
Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
