会议于1977年10月在新墨西哥州圣菲城举行。由十年金伯利岩和捕虏体研究工作的迅速进展,特参照这些进展的解释来了解上地幔岩石学和物理,这种座谈会或讨论会是需要的。会议的主办单位是国际火山学和地球内部化学协国际地球化学和宇宙化学协会、会议联合地球物委员会以及实验岩石学委员会、美国地质调查所位。会议的目的是通过对金伯利岩捕虏体、玄武岩捕的研究和通过地球物理方法使提出的地幔模型合 The meeting was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico in October 1977. This symposium or seminar is needed as a result of the rapid progress made in the research of the kimberlites and xenoliths over ten years and the understanding of upper mantle petrology and physics with specific reference to the explanation of these advances. Organizers of the conference were International Geochemical and Cosmic Chemistry Association of International Volcanoology and Intra-Earth Chemistry, Conference Joint Geosphere Committee and Experimental Petrology Commission, US Geological Survey. The purpose of the conference was to study the kimberlite xenoliths, basalt catches and the mantle model proposed by geophysical methods
