Department of Terrestrial Magnetism, principal investigator on the multinational project. The research has been underway in southern Africa for four years now, and it probably wouldn't have happened there had it not been for the diamonds.For more than a century now the Earth's crust has been probed, mined and gutted in that area in the relentless search for diamonds. Part of the legacy of that quest is a massive amount of geological data about the region, and the mysterious geological structures that brought the diamonds to the surface in the first place.So in 1996 Carlson and colleagues at Carnegie and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology proposed a major study of southern Africa to see what they could learn about the forces that built continents, as well as diamonds. The research was funded by the National Science Foundation and the field work has been completed. Preliminary findings were published in the July 1 issue of Geophysical Research Letters, but it will take years for the scientists to analyze all their data.
