Age, origin and composition of the Attawapiskat lithospheric mantle and its diamonds (western Superior craton, Canada)
DownloadFall 2013
This study reports results from peridotitic and eclogitic xenoliths and di- amond samples from the Attawapiskat area to understand the processes of craton formation and modification in the Superior lithospheric mantle. These diamondiferous kimberlites also provide an opportunity to study the...

Mantle composition, age and geotherm beneath the Darby kimberlite field, west central Rae Craton
DownloadFall 2018
The Rae Craton, northern Canada, contains several diamondiferous kimberlite fields that have been a focus of episodic diamond exploration. Relatively little is known about the deep mantle lithosphere underpinning the architecturally complex crust. Previous studies in the region have focused on...

The petrography and mineral chemistry of melt-intruded mantle xenoliths from the Chidliak kimberlite field, Baffin Island, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
The nature of kimberlitic melts at mantle depths and their interaction with mantle wall-rocks is poorly constrained. This is due to the scarcity of mantle xenoliths and xenocrysts that have preserved this interaction without disaggregating during their transport to Earth’s surface. This thesis...
