What is Water Content in Martian Mantle: Nakhla about?
This study investigates the water content in the Martian mantle using the Nakhla meteorite, focusing on the water content of clinopyroxene crystals through hydrothermal rehydration experiments. The results indicate that the Nakhla parent melt may have contained up to 1.42 wt.% H2O, leading to an estimated minimum water content of 72 ppm in the mantle source region. This value contributes to a broader understanding of Martian mantle water content, averaging 102 ppm, which is lower than Earth
