Diamonds in ophiolites – Recycling deep mantle in supra-subduction zones

Objectives :

validate/refute the hypothesis that diamonds occur widely (if not abundantly) in ophiolites;

determine the conditions under which ophiolites of various ages formed in Australasia;

resolve pressure/temperature/time histories for SuR-UHP minerals in these ophiolites; and develop tectonic models consistent with the incorporation of these anomalous minerals into ophiolites.
