Lithospheric origin of a diamond from the Rio Sorriso area, Mato Grosso State, Brazil

Frontiers in Geochemistry
Diamonds are unique samples that enlarge our vision of the physical and chemical reactions occurring in Earth’s deep, inaccessible mantle. By investigating the minerals and fluids trapped within them, it is possible to ascertain the key conditions ...

Petrogenesis of Very‐Low‐Ti Basalts Returned by Chang'e‐6 From the Lunar Farside

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract Lunar volcanism provides critical insights into the Moon's thermochemical evolution. We present petrological and geochemical analyses of six very‐low‐Ti (VLT) basalt fragments from Chang'e‐6 (CE6) samples. These basalts yield a Pb‐Pb age of around 2.9 Ga, representing the youngest reported VLT volcanism. They are slightly older than the low‐Ti

The Transition From Melt Accumulation to Eruption Initiation Recorded by Orthopyroxene Fe‐Mg Diffusion Timescales in Late Holocene Rhyolites, South Sister Volcano, Oregon Cascade Range

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract South Sister volcano, Oregon Cascade Range, USA, has repeatedly erupted rhyolite since ca. 40 ka. The youngest such eruptions are the ca. 2 ka Rock Mesa and Devils Chain rhyolites, erupted several hundred years apart from two multi‐vent complexes separated by 3–6 km. Fe‐Mg interdiffusion models of orthopyroxene rims from both rhyolites produce

The relaxation of residual inclusion pressure and implications to Raman-thermobarometry [PDF]

, 2019
Abstract. Residual pressure can be preserved in mineral inclusions, e.g. quartz-in-garnet, after exhumation due to differential expansion between inclusion and host crystals. Raman spectroscopy has been applied to infer the residual pressure and provides information on the entrapment temperature and pressure conditions.

3D Petro‐Structural Evolution of the High Pressure‐Low Temperature Phyllite‐Quartzite Nappe Pile in Southern Peloponnese, Greece

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Tectonic underplating of high‐pressure/low‐temperature (HP‐LT) tectonic slices is a key mechanism in crustal growth at convergent margins. Yet, the processes controlling the geometry, depth and sequence of underplating events remain poorly constrained.

Thermobarometry

, 1997
This site hosts a computer application for thermobarometry. The program calculates pressures and temperatures for garnet, cordierite, spinel, sillimanite/kyanite, quartz anhydrous or hydrous pelitic assemblages.

Mineral Chemistry and Thermobarometry of the Volcanic Rocks in Torud, Iran

Open Journal of Geology, 2014
This paper elucidates the compositional studies on clinopyroxene, plagioclase of basalts to andesitic rocks of Torud area to understand the geotectonic and geothermobarometry conditions. Early Eocene-Oligocene calc-alkaline volcanic rocks are exposed around Torud in the Central Iranian zone.

Confronting Episodic vs. Continuous Heat Sources in Long‐Lived Hot Orogens: Insights From Petrochronological Studies in the Nova Venecia Complex, Araçuaí Orogen (SE Brazil)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 9, Page 863-890, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Orogenic belts that sustain elevated temperatures at intermediate crustal depths for tens of millions of years are known as hot orogens. The evolution of these hot orogens is largely influenced by thermal maturation, primarily driven by the distribution of heat‐producing elements (HPEs), such as K, Th and U in the overthickened crust.

Fast and Spatially Heterogeneous Cooling Rates at Amphibolite‐Facies Conditions in the Lepontine Alps (Switzerland)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The Lepontine dome (European Central Alps) is constituted by basement nappes under Alpine regional Barrovian metamorphism, yet the duration and pattern of its post‐peak amphibolite‐facies cooling remain uncertain. We examine garnet‐rim compositional re‐adjustment and employ inverse multicomponent diffusion modeling to estimate apparent cooling
