International Kimberlite Conferences (IKCs) are special events that
are held across the world once in four to five years. IKC is the
confluence platform for academicians, scientists and industrial
personnel concerned with diamond exploration and exploitation,
petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, geophysics and origin of
the primary diamond host rocks and their entrained xenoliths and
xenocrysts (including diamond) to get together and deliberate on
new advances in research made in the intervening years. Ever since
the organization of first IKC in 1973 and its tremendous success,
the entire geological world eagerly look forward to subsequent such
conferences with great enthusiasm and excitement. The scientific
emanations from IKCs continue to make significant impact on our
understanding of the composition, nature and evolution of the
planet we live on. The previous conferences were held at Cape Town
(1973), Santa Fe, New Mexico (1977), Clermont-Ferrand, France,
(1982), Perth, Western Australia (1987), Araxa, Brazil (1991),
Novosibirsk, Russia (1995), Cape Town (1998), Victoria, Canada
(2003) and Frankfurt, Germany (2008). The 10th IKC was held at
Bangalore, India between 5th and 11th February 2012. The conference
was organized by the Geological Society of India in association
with the government organizations, academic institutions and Indian
diamond mining companies. About 300 delegates from 36 countries
attended the conference and 224 papers were presented. The papers
include 78 oral presentations and 146 poster presentations on
following topics: Kimberlite geology, origin, evolution and
emplacement of kimberlites and related rocks, petrology and
geochemistry of metasomatised lithospheric mantle magmas, diamond
exploration, cratonic roots, diamonds, diamond mining and
sustainable developments and policies and governance of diamond
exploration. Pre- and post-conference field trips were organized to
(i) the diamond bearing kimberlites of Dharwar Craton in South
India, (ii) lamproites of Bundelkhand Craton in northern India and
(iii) diamond cutting and polishing industry of Surat, Gujarat in
western India. A series of social and cultural programmes depicting
cultural diversity of India were organized during the conference.
The Kimberlite fraternity enjoyed yet another socially and
scientifically successful conference.
