The goal of Part 1 was the definitive determination of the dependence of the diffusion coefficient for water (DH2O, defined as the diffusion coefficient of total water) in various compositions of silicate melts with respect to water content (CH2O). We measured profiles of CH2O in hydration and diffusion couple experiments by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. DH2O values were determined from the profiles using both direct calculations (Boltzmann-Matano methods) and models assuming specific relationships between DH2O and CH2O (including constant, proportional, and exponential relationships, and a simple speciation model assuming that water molecules are mobile (with constant diffusivity) and hydroxyl groups are immobile). As expected, the constant DH2O model was never the best fit to our diffusion profile data. In order to distinguish among the models with varying diffusion coefficients, all of which require increasing DH2O with increasing CH2O, we ran a series of experiments with small ranges of CH2O, so that we could assume that DH2O was constant. If either the proportional or speciation model holds, then DH2O = 0 at CH2O = 0, whereas the exponential model predicts a finite value for DH2O at CH2O = 0. Results for haplobasalt and haploandesite compositions are …

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Ken Earman. Earman joined the Army Air Forces in 1943. He completed bombardier training, and provides some details of his experiences. As a first lieutenant, he served as an instructor teaching cadets at Big Spring Army Air Field in Texas. He was assigned to the 7th Air Force, 11th Bomb Group, 431st Squadron. In 1944 he flew over 40 combat missions in the Pacific Theater. He shares details of his missions and his experiences on Tawara, Kwajalein, Eniwetok and other Pacific islands. He later taught Chinese cadets at Big Spring in late 1944 into 1945.
