Magmatic liquids, including silicate and carbonate melts, are principal agents of mass and
heat transfer in the Earth and terrestrial planets, and they play a crucial role in various …

To determine partitioning of C between upper mantle silicate minerals and basaltic melts, we
executed 26 experiments between 0.8 and 3 GPa and 1250–1500° C which yielded 37 …

The processes that control water distribution in nominally anhydrous minerals from
peridotites are twofold. Melt depletion will remove water while metasomatism can potentially …

Besides depth and temperature, CO2 and H2O, are the two most important variables in
stabilizing partial melts in the Earth's mantle. However, despite decades of experimental …

Apart from the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB), mid-lithospheric discontinuities
(MLDs) in thick and old continental lithospheres appear to play an important role in global …

Abstract The ca. 1153 Ma Premier kimberlite pipe on the Kaapvaal craton has been intruded
by late-stage kimberlite and carbonatite magmas forming discrete 0.5 to 5 m wide dykes …

Mineral inclusions in diamond record its origin at different depths, down to the lower mantle.
However, most diamonds entrained with erupting kimberlite magma originate in lithospheric …

Mapping the compositional variability of the Earth's mantle is fundamental for understanding
mantle dynamics, crustal recycling and melt generation. The geochemistry of intraplate …

Interaction between carbonatite melt and peridotite is studied experimentally by melting
samples of interlayered peridotite–carbonatite–peridotite in graphite containers at 1200 …

The petrography and mineral composition of a mantle-derived garnet peridotite xenolith from
the V. Grib kimberlite pipe (Arkhangelsk Diamond Province, Russia) was studied. Based on …
