Ultimately, we want to understand the physical and chemical environment of diamond formation deep in Earth\u2019s mantle and the conditions that accompany diamond preservation or lead to diamond destruction. To that end, we crush diamonds and pick their tiny inclusions for chemical analysis, or polish diamonds into plates to reveal their internal growth structure for imaging and isotopic analysis in our ion microprobe lab.We work closely with the diamond industry for many of our projects and happily marry our curiosity-driven basic research with industry-relevant applications.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_291\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-291\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-291 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/cms.eas.ualberta.ca\/team-diamond\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/12\/banner-1024x230.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.eas.ualberta.ca\/team-diamond\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/12\/banner-1024x230.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cms.eas.ualberta.ca\/team-diamond\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/12\/banner-300x67.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cms.eas.ualberta.ca\/team-diamond\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/12\/banner-768x172.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-291\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Peridotitic garnet inclusion in diamond from Udachnaya; octahedral diamond on peridotitic garnet; diamondiferous eclogite from Fort a la Corne<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pgc-11-0-1\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\">\n<div id=\"panel-11-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-first-child\">\n<div class=\"textwidget\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"panel-11-0-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-last-child\">\n<h3 class=\"widget-title\">Contact<\/h3>\n<div class=\"textwidget\">\n<p>Thomas Stachel<br \/>\nUniversity of Alberta<br \/>\nEarth and Atmospheric Sciences<br \/>\n1-26 ESB<br \/>\nEdmonton, AB, T6G 2E3<br \/>\nTel.: ++1 \u2013 780 \u2013 492 0865<br \/>\nEmail: <a href=\"mailto:tstachel@ualberta.ca\">tstachel@ualberta.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We work on diamonds, their mineral and fluid inclusions, and their source rocks in Earth&#8217;s mantle.
