We examine mantle water to understand Earth's history driven by plate tectonics. We published first observation of iron-spin transition in the lower mantle which identifies oceanic plates necessary to carry water into the deep mantle. Shephard et al., Nature Communications, 2021. Developed a new cross filter technique to identify mineral and chemical anomalies in the lower mantle presented at the 2021 Goldschmidt meeting in July and AGU in December 2021. Organized international "Seismic Frontiers" workshop in October 2021. Kurokawa et al., G-cubed, 2022 used models of nitrogen cycling to constrain the timing of oceanic plate subduction. E.Thompson, Z. Liu, J. Tsuchiya, A. Campbell presented FeOOH Polymorphs in the Deep Earth: Combining Theoretical and Experimental Approaches at 2021 AGU.
