Deformation-Induced Mechanical Instabilities at the Core-Mantle Boundary [PDF]
, 2007 Post-Perovskite: The Last Mantle Phase Transition Our understanding of the core-mantle boundary (CMB) region has improved significantly over the past several years due, in part, to the discovery of the post-perovskite phase.

Permian Large Igneous Provinces and Their Paleoenvironmental Effects
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 417-434., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Tertiary-Quaternary intra-plate magmatism in Europe and its relationship to mantle dynamics [PDF]
, 2006 Anorogenic intra-plate magmatism was widespread in Europe from early Tertiary to Recent times, extending west to east from Spain to Bulgaria, and south to north from Sicily to northern Germany. Magmatism is spatially and temporally associated with Alpine-

Kyanite-bearing eclogite xenoliths from the Udachnaya kimberlite, Siberian craton, Russia [PDF]
BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2017 Xenoliths brought up by kimberlite magmas are rare samples of otherwise inaccessible lithospheric mantle. Eclogite xenoliths are found in most cratons and commonly show a range of mineral and chemical compositions that can be used to better understand ...

Nanodiamond Finding in the Hyblean Shallow Mantle Xenoliths [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractMost of Earth’s diamonds are connected with deep-seated mantle rocks; however, in recent years, μm-sized diamonds have been found in shallower metamorphic rocks and the process of shallow-seated diamond formation has become a hotly debated topic. Nanodiamonds occur mainly in chondrite meteorites associated with organic matter and water.

Multiscale modeling of upper mantle plasticity: From single-crystal rheology to multiphase aggregate deformation [PDF]
, 2014 We report a first application of an improved second-order (SO) viscoplastic self-consistent model for multiphase aggregates, applied to an olivine + diopside aggregate as analogue for a dry upper mantle peridotite deformed at 10 15 s 1 shear strain rate ...
