Hydrous phases are stabilized in the oceanic crust through constant interaction between the lithosphere and the overlying hydrosphere. These hydrous phases lock up substantial amounts of water and, over geological time scale, play a significant role in influencing the global sea-level. Subduction zones, which are major tectonic features, transport water into the Earth's interior. The efficiency of the transport of water and the extent of mantle hydration are intimately linked with the thermodynamic stability and thermoelasticity of hydrous phases. Since water has considerable effects on melting and on the elastic and transport properties of the Solid Earth, it is important to constrain the degree of mantle hydration.This research attempts to put more accurate constraints on the transport of water into the Earth's interior and on mantle hydration. It will contribute to scientific understanding of the crystal structure, thermodynamics, equation of state, and elasticity of various hydrous phases that are likely to be stabilized in subduction zone settings. It will relate the energetics and thermoelasticity of hydrous phases with the following aspects: transport of water into the Earth's interior; extent of mantle hydration; observed low velocity layers; and large anisotropy in subduction zone settings. The research will be conducted by using a unique combination of experimental and theoretical methods.

通过岩石圈和上覆水圈之间的持续相互作用，洋壳中的水相得以稳定。这些含水相锁住了大量的水，在地质时间尺度上，对影响全球海平面发挥着重要作用。俯冲带是主要的构造特征，将水输送到地球内部。水的传输效率和地幔水化程度与水相的热力学稳定性和热弹性密切相关。由于水对固体地球的融化、弹性和传输特性有相当大的影响，因此限制地幔水合程度非常重要。本研究试图对水进入地球内部和地幔的传输施加更准确的限制保湿。它将有助于科学理解可能在俯冲带环境中稳定的各种水相的晶体结构、热力学、状态方程和弹性。它将水相的能量学和热弹性与以下方面联系起来：水输送到地球内部；地幔水化程度；观察到的低速层；俯冲带设置中存在大的各向异性。该研究将通过使用实验和理论方法的独特结合来进行。
