Experimental Geochemistry

这项正在进行的研究项目将集中在实验上，以确定各种亲石、亲铁和铂族元素的矿物/熔体分配系数。亲石和亲铁实验将在多个砧板上进行，将涉及钙钛矿和镁闪锌矿，其结果最终将在阐明地球早期历史方面得到应用。铂族元素的实验将在混合气体炉中进行，将包括硫化物、尖晶石和各种含钛副矿物的研究，并将扩大我们对贵金属和经济可开发矿床的了解。

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.
