On the location of plumes and lateral movement of thermochemical structures with high bulk modulus in the 3-D compressible mantle [PDF]
The two large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) at the base of the lower mantle are prominent features in all shear wave tomography models. Various lines of evidence suggest that the LLSVPs are thermochemical and are stable on the order of hundreds ...

Petrography and mineral chemistry of Northeast Africa 053—A remnant of Martian crystal mush
Abstract In Earth's igneous systems, crystal mushes, crystal‐rich frameworks permeated by silicate melt, represent a common and fundamental stage in the evolution of magma bodies. However, whether crystal mushes occur within Martian igneous systems and play a comparable role is unknown. Here, we present a comprehensive petrography and mineral chemistry

Material aspects of kimberlite rocks productivity
Most of investigated kimberlite diatremes of the Siberian platform represent multiphase pipes. Each magmatic phase of intrusion, formed inside diatremes, is composed by kimberlites with specific petrographic and petrochemical type possessing a number of ...

Current trends of improving the efficiency of froth separation of diamond-bearing kimberlites
Along with the introduction of new froth separation sections at new and existing enterprises, the basis for increasing the output of small diamonds is the reduction of their losses at the existing froth separation sections.

ABSTRACT Sierra Leone's land governance reform policies are often based on the neoliberal assumption that market growth, gender equality and women's empowerment are mutually compatible objectives. Contrary to this assumption, this article argues that while market‐oriented reforms can help to destabilize legal and cultural norms that are discriminatory ...

Natural evidence for garnet-spinel transition (GST) in the Earth's mantle [PDF]
This study based on compiled world-wide garnet peridotite data confirms the GST in high P and T conditions, which was obtained from Al-free experimental system (MgO-Cr~2~O~3~-SiO~2~) by Klemme (2004). A new spinel-phase peridotite zone, garnet peridotite

Lithospheric Delamination Below the North American Midcontinent Ceased Subsidence in Cratonic Basins
Abstract Cratonic lithospheres carry a long history of tectonic modifications that result in heterogeneous structures, as revealed by an increasing number of geophysical observations. The existence of cratonic basins indicates protracted periods of tectonic modification, causing subsidence within global continental interiors.
