Evidence of Alkali-Carbonate Melts in the Mantle Academic Background Carbonate melts play a crucial role in Earth’s deep carbon cycle, mantle melting, redox reactions, and the transport of highly incompatible elements. Although experimental studies, metasomatic transformations, and melt/fluid inclusions in mantle xenoliths, kimberlites, and diamond...
