The principal investigator will study the generation of melts in planetary interiors, transport within the interiors, and chemical differentiation processes. To do so he will experimentally study both natural and synthetic igneous systems over a wide range of temperatures and pressures, utilizing petrologic, analytical, and modelling techniques. The aim is to reach a better understanding of planetary differentiation through igneous processes. The results of this work will be crucial to a geologic understanding of the development and evolution of the Earth as a planet.

首席研究员将研究熔体的产生， 行星内部，内部运输，化学 分化过程。为此，他将通过实验研究 天然和合成火成岩系统， 温度和压力，利用岩石学，分析， 建模技术。目的是为了更好地了解 行星通过火成过程的分化。结果 这项工作将是至关重要的地质了解 地球作为一颗行星的发展和演变。
