This study investigates the presence and distribution of water within the cratonic mantle beneath the Slave Craton in Canada.

FTIR spectroscopy is applied to xenoliths from Lac De Gras to quantify water concentrations in mantle minerals.

Results provide insights into the hydration state and volatile content of the deep lithosphere.

The research contributes to understanding mantle processes and the role of water in cratonic evolution.
