Funded Activity Summary

Diamonds - a window into the ancient mantle: the origin of Earth's atmosphere and outgassing of the mantle. The project will provide a better understanding of the mantle source regions of diamonds and, in particular, homogeneity/heterogeneity of the source regions as a function of space and time - potentially of economic significance for diamond exploration. The project will investigate the noble gas compositions of a systematic selection of diamonds of different ages and from different parts of the mantle. Together with carbon and nitrogen isotope systematics, this information will be used to better constrain models of Earth outgassing and the evolution of the Earth's atmosphere and mantle.
