THE SHEAHAN-MDRU LITERATURE
SERVICE
Diamonds, Kimberlites, and Related Geology
October 2012
Highlights
The Sheahan-MDRU Literature Service is dedicated to advancing research driven
mineral exploration by increasing the awareness
and availability of scientific publications and
technical resources. It facilitates communication and collaboration between
industry professionals and academia in the search for world class discoveries.

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It
is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.

Vancouver Kimberlite Cluster
Welcome to a new UBC-MDRU seminar series, to share ideas and stories from diamond exploration, kimberlite geology, and related topics. We will meet downtown every one-to-two months for a talk, and a trip to the nearest pub.
We aim to gather the many people working on kimberlites and diamonds in Vancouver, as well as professionals passing through. Everyone is welcome. We are the Vancouver Kimberlite Cluster.
First talk:Thursday, Oct 11 at 6:00pmUBC Robson Square, 800 Robson St. , Room C215
Evan Smith, UBCLiquid nitrogen and diamond-forming melts
Newly discovered, nitrogen-rich fluid inclusions and melt inclusions in diamond argue that nitrogen is more than just a trace impurity. It’s presence provides insight into mantle volatiles and diamond genesis.
Second talk:Monday, Dec 10 at 6:00pmUBC Robson Square, Room C215Speaker to be announced later
