Explore the latest developments in diamond research with the Proceedings of the 10th International Kimberlite Conference: Volume 2. Published by Springer, this volume serves as a vital resource for the global scientific community. The International Kimberlite Conferences (IKCs) are premier events held every four to five years, bringing together academicians, scientists, and industrial experts from around the world. This specific volume focuses on the confluence of research regarding diamond exploration and exploitation. It covers essential scientific disciplines including petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics. Readers will find detailed discussions on the origin of primary diamond host rocks, as well as studies on entrained xenoliths and xenocrysts, including diamonds. Since the first IKC in 1973, these conferences have provided a platform for professionals to deliberate on new research advances. This book is an important addition for anyone studying the geological processes and technical aspects of kimberlite and diamond formation.
