Dissolved water in silicate melts and glasses is of great interest in geoscience as well as in technical applications. We investigate water dynamics in silicate melts and the correlation between macroscopic properties like viscosity and the microscopic structure. With the intrinsic q resolution of quasielastic neutron scattering diffusion can be studied in great detail. Diffusion of water in sodium trisilicate melt was studied in-situ at different temperatures under a pressure of 200 MPa. The temperature dependence of the H diffusion coefficient obeys an Arrhenius law with an activation energy of about 0.36 eV.
