Explore cutting-edge research on deep Earth minerals through a 25-minute talk by Fabrizio Nestola from the University of Padua. Delve into the in-situ, ambient analysis of minerals captured within diamonds originating from the mantle transition zone and lower mantle. Learn about advanced techniques used to study these rare mineral inclusions and their implications for understanding Earth's deep interior. Part of the Mineralogical Society of America's Centennial Symposium, this presentation offers insights into the composition and conditions of Earth's inaccessible depths through the unique window provided by diamond-encapsulated minerals.
