Acquisition of equipment for a high-pressure laboratory

该奖项提供配套资金的设备将使用 在首席研究员的高温高压下 最近在地球系建立了一个实验室， 哈佛大学行星科学系。设备项目 包括具有混合气体供应高温炉 大气调节，岩相显微镜，和特殊的 硬质合金砧用于实验室的多砧，高压 设备. 设备齐全的实验室将由 首席研究员，同事和他们的研究生在 深层地质相关材料研究 为了阐明早期的行星 这些变化造就了现代地球。

This award provides matching funds for equipment to be used in the principal investigator's high-temperature-pressure laboratory recently established in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. Items of equipment include a high-temperature furnace with provisions for mixed gas atmosphere regulation, a petrographic microscope, and special tungsten carbide anvils for the lab's multi-anvil, high-pressure apparatus. The fully equipped laboratory will be utilized by the principal investigator, colleagues, and their graduate students in studies of geologically relevant materials under deep earth conditions in order to elucidate the early planetary transformations that have produced the modern Earth.
