| Scope | The deep carbon cycle in Earth and other planetary bodies including meteorite parent bodies depends on the structure and stability of carbon-bearing minerals, melts and fluids at high pressure and temperature. Recent advances are providing new insights into novel structures and properties of native carbon phases, carbonate minerals, ices, clathrates, carbides, and phases containing trace carbon. Carbon solubility in liquids is important for understanding metal and silicate portions of planetary interiors, and fluids containing carbon play important roles in elemental mass transfer. This session highlights the roles of carbon in crystals, melts and fluids in the deep carbon cycle in the terrestrial planets. We welcome contributions based on any combination of computational, experimental, and theoretical mineral physics and petrology, including work on individual carbon-bearing phases and on their stability and reactivity with multiphase assemblages. | |
