Hopefully you have all settled in to your hotels (i.e. your bedrooms) and enjoyed the icebreaker last night (i.e. sitting in your living room).
Here are some highlights for today, tune in and ‘chat’!

Can we measure the amount of water in orthopyroxene, and use that to somehow get the water content of the mantle? Or is hydrogen diffusion too fast? Check out 👉this presentation👈 by Alexandra Demers-Roberge
Can hydrogen from a melt transmit right into the core of a xenolith? Are xenolith cores somehow insulated from their edges? Konstantinos Thomaidis will tell you! LINK👈
