    Thesis title : Deep water cycles in telluric planets

    Objectives

    Study the capacity of Earth’s deep mantle to store water in its main mineral phases over the geological times.

    Study the impacts the presence of water in the solid lower mantle can have on the Earth’s deep water cycle.

    Better understand the equilibrium between surface and deep water on Earth to discuss the conditions required for a planet to form liquid water at its surface.

    Methods

    Combine high-pressure & high temperature experiments (with the use of a laser-heating diamond-anvil cells, mult anvil press, piston-cylinders) with high precision analytical instruments (IR-Raman spectrometers, NanoSIMS, FIB-SEM, SEM, EPMA, etc.)
