U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science: Elastic and Rheological Properties of High-Pressure Phases of Mantle Minerals

9513102利伯曼该奖项支持纽约州立大学石溪分校的罗伯特·C·利伯曼教授和爱慕大学的艾方哲夫教授之间为期三年的合作研究项目。聚集在一起的合作者还包括石溪矿物物理研究所和北海道大学的教师和博士后工作人员。这项建议将涉及研究地幔矿物高压相的弹性和流变性的一些最重要的领域。这项研究的目的是更好地了解地球内部的动力学过程。这项提议汇集了来自两个国家的研究科学家，他们以互补的方式在矿物物理和化学方面工作。美国科学家将有机会熟悉爱慕大学的高压设备和北海道大学的电子显微镜设备。因此，这项建议实现了该计划通过国际合作交流和转让科学知识的目标。***

9513102 Liebermann This award supports a three-year cooperative research project between Professor Robert C. Liebermann of the State University of New York at Stony Brook and Professor Tetsuo Irifune of Ehime University. The collaborators assembled also include faculty and postdoctoral staff of the Mineral Physics Institute at Stony Brook and Hokkaido University. This proposal will address some of the most important areas of research on the elastic and rheological properties of the high-pressure phases of mantle minerals. The objective of this research is an improved understanding of the dynamical processes in the Earth's interior. This proposal brings together research scientists from two countries working in complimentary ways on mineral physics and chemistry. The U. S. scientists will have the opportunity to become familiar with the high-pressure facilities at Ehime University and the electron microscope facilities of Hokkaido University. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through international collaboration. ***
