Abstract

Turning up the mantle temperature The temperature at which Earth's mantle begins to melt is a long-standing question in geology. Sarafian et al. present a clever set of experiments to determine the impact of small amounts of water on the melting temperature of mantle rock (see the Perspective by Asimow). This allowed them to reinterpret geophysical observations of melting in the mantle and revise estimates of mantle temperature upward. A hotter mantle has a multitude of implications for mantle melting and geodynamic processes. Science , this issue p. 942 ; see also p. 908
