Experimental Geochemistry

这项正在进行的研究项目将集中在实验， 确定矿物/熔体分配系数， 各种亲石、亲铁和铂族 元素 亲石和亲铁实验将 在多砧装置中进行，将涉及 钙钛矿和镁橄榄石，结果将 最终可以用来解释早期的历史 of the Earth. 铂族实验 元素将在气体混合炉中进行，将 包括硫化物、尖晶石和各种含钛矿物研究 副矿物，并将扩大我们的理解， 贵金属和可经济开采的矿藏。

This ongoing research project will focus on experiments to determine the mineral/melt partition coefficients for a variety of lithophile, siderophile, and platinum group elements. The lithophile and siderophile experiments will be carried out in multianvil apparatus, will involve perovskite and magnesiowustite, and the results will ultimately have application in elucidating the early history of the Earth. The experiments on the platinum group elements will be carried out in gas mixing furnaces, will include studies of sulfide, spinel, and various Ti-bearing accessory minerals, and will extend our understanding of noble metals and economically exploitable mineral deposits.
