Non-Arrhenian Temperature-Dependent Viscosity of Alkali(ne) Carbonate Melts at Mantle Pressures

The viscosity of carbonate melts is a fundamental parameter to constrain their migration and ascent rates through the mantle and ultimately, their role as carbon conveyors within the deep carbon cycle. Yet, data on the viscosity of carbonate melts have remained scarce due to experimental limitations...
