Initially, it may seem extremely daunting to be sitting in front of several thousand carats of
small diamonds, knowing that the likelihood of finding a diamond with a meaningful …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

All available volume and elasticity data for the garnet end-members grossular, pyrope,
almandine and spessartine have been re-evaluated for both internal consistency and for …

Kimberlite-borne xenolithic eclogites, typically occurring in or near cratons, have long been
recognized as remnants of Precambrian subducted oceanic crust that have undergone …

Upon exhumation and cooling, contrasting compressibilities and thermal expansivities
induce differential strains (volume mismatches) between a host crystal and its inclusions …

The mineralogy and chemical compositions of inclusions in diamonds are the primary
source of information about the environment in which diamonds grow and help constrain the …

EntraPT is a web-based application for elastic geobarometry freely accessible at the
“Fiorenzo Mazzi” experimental mineralogy lab website (http://www. mineralogylab …

Elastic thermobarometry of host-inclusion systems for back-calculating pressure (P) and
temperature (T) conditions of inclusion entrapment relies on the assumption that the …

The past 40 years have been a golden age for eclogite studies, supported by an ever wider
range of instrumentation and enhanced computational capabilities, linked with ongoing …

Mineral inclusions entrapped in other minerals may record the local stresses at the moment
of their entrapment in the deep Earth. When rocks are exhumed to the surface of the Earth …
