Reconciling Seismic and Thermo‐Chemical Models of Cratonic Lithosphere

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Most published global and regional shear‐wave (VS ${V}_{\mathrm{S}}$) velocity models of cratons include a VS ${V}_{\mathrm{S}}$ increase with depth below the Moho, with a maximum at 100–150 km depth. This feature has long been debated, as it appears to require either (implausible) temperature decreases with depth, or substantial, layered ...

Styles of Alteration of Ti Oxides of the Kimberlite Groundmass: Implications on the Petrogenesis and Classification of Kimberlites and Similar Rocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The sequence of replacement in groundmass perovskite and spinel from SK-1 and SK-2 kimberlites (Eastern Dharwar craton, India) has been established. Two types of perovskite occur in the studied Indian kimberlites.

Quantifying Vein Network Permeability in Dehydrated Serpentinites Using Thermodynamics and Generative AI

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Fluids released from subducting hydrated rocks influence volcanism, tectonics, and geochemical cycling, but the mechanisms of fluid escape in subduction zones remain poorly understood. We address this issue by investigating the Erro‐Tobbio meta‐serpentinites (ET‐MS), Italy, exhumed serpentinite rocks that preserve extensive dehydration vein ...

Use of gamma-ray spectrometry for identifying weakly magnetic diamondiferous kimberlites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Diamondiferous kimberlites are the most important source of bedrock diamond deposits. The goal of the study is to analyze the use of gamma-ray spectrometry techniques to explore weakly magnetic diamondiferous kimberlites.

Internal vs. external forcing in shallow marine diatreme formation: a case study from the Iblean Mountains (SE-Siciliy, Central Mediterranean) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A model of diatreme evolution in a shallow marine setting is based on a multi-disciplinary analysis of diatremes in the Iblean Mountains (Sicily). The approach includes stratigraphic, volcanological, structural, petrologic and compositional data.

Petrochemical and petrophysical characterization of the lower crust and the Moho beneath the West African Craton, based on Xenoliths from Kimberlites [PDF]

open access: yes
Additional evidence to the composition of the lower crust and uppermost mantle was presented in the form of xenolith data. Xenoliths from the 2.7-Ga West African Craton indicate that the Moho beneath this shield is a chemically and physically gradational

The origin of Triassic/Jurassic kimberlite magmatism, Canada: Two mantle sources revealed from the Sr‐Nd isotopic composition of groundmass perovskite

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2011
The crystallization ages and the Sr and Nd isotopic compositions of groundmass perovskite from a well‐established, SE trending, Triassic‐Jurassic corridor of kimberlite magmatism in central and eastern North America were determined to investigate the ...

CO 2 Solubility in Kimberlite melts CO 2 Solubility in Kimberlite melts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
International audienceCarbon dioxide is the most abundant volatile in kimberlite melts and its solubility exerts a prime influence on the melt structure, buoyancy, transport rate and hence eruption dynamics.
