Genesis and evolution of kimberlites
Kimberlites are volcanic rocks enriched in CO2 and H2O and derive from the deepest-
sourced melts (up to 300 km) that reach Earth's surface. The mantle processes that generate …

Discovery of davemaoite, CaSiO3-perovskite, as a mineral from the lower mantle
Calcium silicate perovskite, CaSiO3, is arguably the most geochemically important phase in
the lower mantle, because it concentrates elements that are incompatible in the upper …

Blue boron-bearing diamonds from Earth's lower mantle
Geological pathways for the recycling of Earth's surface materials into the mantle are both
driven and obscured by plate tectonics,–. Gauging the extent of this recycling is difficult …

Slab transport of fluids to deep focus earthquake depths—thermal modeling constraints and evidence from diamonds
The nature and cause of deep earthquakes remain enduring unknowns in the field of
seismology. We present new models of thermal structures of subducted slabs traced to …

Kimberlites reveal 2.5-billion-year evolution of a deep, isolated mantle reservoir
The widely accepted paradigm of Earth's geochemical evolution states that the successive
extraction of melts from the mantle over the past 4.5 billion years formed the continental …
