Water storage in the mantle

The origins of the oceans and Earth's volatile atmosphere are major unsolved problems in earth sciences. The recent study by Finger et al. of the crystal chemistry of a water-bearing mineral phase, cryptically named phase B and grown under conditions equivalent to a depth in the Earth of 360 km, dramatically demonstrates that several times the Earth's visible water budget could be stored in the mantle.
