The H/C ratio is higher in earth's exosphere than in the source region of primitive basalts, suggesting the presence of an enriched carbon reservoir in the mantle. This may be due to the subduction of carbon over time, enriching the mantle with recycled material. Recent estimates show minimal carbon reaching the asthenospheric mantle, but sub-lithospheric diamonds provide direct evidence of mantle carbon. These diamonds from Brazil contain trapped silicate inclusions similar to mafic eclogitic lithologies at depths of 300-800 km. Isotopic measurements and extreme enrichment of trace elements support the idea that these samples were produced from melts of subducted crust. Petrological experiments have demonstrated the carbon's role in this process.

Effective disaster preparedness is crucial for saving lives and minimizing the impact of crises. However, there are significant gaps in international development systems that hinder coordination of these efforts. By integrating contingency planning and business continuity planning into organizational processes, standardized tools can be established to enhance multi-hazard emergency preparedness. This involves ensuring that individuals and organizations are equipped with the necessary knowledge, systems, and tools to respond promptly and effectively to disasters. The training aims to improve understanding of contingency planning, including the development of practical, results-oriented, participatory, and realistic plans supported by preparedness actions.
