Ion microprobe studies of the concentration dependence of the diffusivity of water in obsidian melts are presented. The ion microprobe at Johnson Space Center was calibrated for in situ water determinations on a 10-micron scale for basaltic, albitic and rhyolitic glasses with water contents from 0.2 to 1.8, 6.8 and 3.7 wt % H2O respectively. The microprobe was then used to measure water concentration profiles as a function of distance and time for the diffusion of water into eight partially and completely hydrated rhyolite obsidian cylinders at 850 C and 700 bars total water pressure. On the basis of these measurements, an expression is derived for water diffusivity as an exponential function of melt water concentration.
