Abstract:
Earth’s deep carbon cycle is at the research frontier for a habitable deep Earth. In this talk, I will introduce the phase transition of calcium carbonate from crystalline to amorphous structure under the temperature and pressure conditions of the mantle. Amorphous calcium carbonate feature ultra-low velocity and may have wide implications in the recycle of deep carbon to the Earth's surface and the formation of the ultra-low velocity layer in the mantle.
