Suzette Timmerman, assistant professor at the University of Bern, explains how diamonds form under extreme pressure deep within Earth and what traces they preserve about our planet's interior. The lecture covers the journey of diamonds from depths of 300 to 800 kilometres: their formation at subduction zones, their rise through continental roots, and their volcanic transport to the surface. A science talk in German with livestream option.
