"A seismologist at Washington University in St. Louis has made the
first 3-D model of seismic wave damping---diminishing---deep in the
Earth's mantle and has revealed the existence of an underground water
reservoir at least the volume of the Arctic Ocean. It is the first
evidence for water existing in the Earth's deep mantle."
