Collaborative Research: Experimental Melting of Biotite and Amphibole plus Biotite-bearing Assemblages

首席研究员与詹姆斯·比尔德博士合作 弗吉尼亚州自然历史博物馆，将调查 含有黑云母矿物的变质岩的熔化， 角质层他们的实验，将在广泛的范围内进行 将为地质学家提供重要的信息 关于地壳内岩浆的产生。

The principal investigator, in collaboration with Dr. James Beard of the Virginia Museum of Natural History, will investigate the melting of metamorphic rocks that contain the minerals biotite and hornblende. Their experiments, to be conducted over a wide range of pressure, will provide geologists with important information regarding the generation of magmas within the earth's crust.
