Minerals included in diamonds provide direct information about the petrologic and chemical
environment of diamond crystallization. They record information relating to local and …

Perhaps the first point to address in this chapter is what role, or roles, experimental petrology
can play in understanding the formation of natural diamond. As can be seen from the other …

In the past couple of decades, the laser-heated diamond anvil cell (combined with in situ
techniques) has become an extensively used tool for studying pressure-temperature …

The stable forms of carbon in Earth's deep interior control storage and fluxes of carbon
through the planet over geologic time, impacting the surface climate as well as carrying …

Recently, calcium orthocarbonate (Ca2CO4-Pnma) has been predicted to be stable under P–
T conditions of the Earth's transition zone and the lower mantle. Here, we investigate its …

Under extreme conditions of high pressure and temperature, liquids can undergo substantial
structural transformations as their atoms rearrange to minimise energy within a more …

The reactions between pyroxenes and carbonates have been studied in the CaMgSi 2 O 6+
MgCO 3 (Di+ 2Mgs), CaMgSi 2 O 6+ NaAlSi 2 O 6+ 2MgCO 3 (Di+ Jd+ 2Mgs), CaMgSi 2 O …

Carbonates are important carbon-bearing phases in the mantle. While their role in upper
mantle petrologic processes has been well studied, their effect on phase relations, melting …

Constraining the flux of carbon in and out of the interior of the Earth due to long-term
geological processes is important, because of the influence that it has on climate change …

We analyzed the carbon isotope composition of vesicle CO 2, plus He isotopes and He and
CO 2 concentrations in the vesicle (vapor) and glass (melt) phases of 37 submarine basalts …
