Chemistry and Physics of Earth Materials

[Note: These are the web pages of the former Section 3.6 Chemistry and Physics of Earth Materials. It has moved with effect from 1.10.2024.The research topics and projects will be moved to other sections. This will only be reflected on the website in the coming weeks].

In our high-pressure labs we experimentally simulate the conditions ranging from the Earth’s crust to the deep mantle. Equipment: Hydrothermal laboratory, internally heated pressure vessel (IHPV), Piston Cylinder Press, Multi-Anvil Press, Piston Cylinder/Multi Anvil Press Contact person: Dr. Sergio Speziale
