9710478 Christensen This grant provides partial support of a technician's salary for a three year period. The technician will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of a newly established high pressure- high temperature facility at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This facility incorporates the rock physics laboratories of Nik Christensen (just starting at Wisconsin after 13 years at Purdue University) and Herb Wang and the hydrothermal labs of Lukas Baumgartner and Reid Cooper. The research foci of these PI's includes studies of the seismic properties of geologic materials at lower crustal and upper mantle pressures and temperatures, investigations of the poroelastic properties of rocks in the upper crust, studies of the solubilities and thermodynamics of solid solutions and the behavior of synthetic materials at elevated temperatures and pressures. More specifically, the technician will directly support these PI's in a diverse array of research projects including laboratory studies of the seismic properties of lower crustal rocks from the Sierra Nevada and Basin and Range provinces, measurement of the solubility of synthetic pelites and studies of the thermodynamics of olivine solid solutions. ***

小行星9710478 这项补助金为技术人员提供为期三年的部分工资支持。 该技术员将负责操作和维护威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校新建立的高压高温设施。 该设施包括尼克·克里斯滕森（在普渡大学工作了13年后，刚刚在威斯康星州开始工作）和赫伯·王的岩石物理实验室以及卢卡斯·鲍姆加特纳和里德库珀的热液实验室。 这些PI的研究重点包括下地壳和上地幔压力和温度下地质材料的地震特性的研究，上地壳岩石的孔隙弹性性质的调查，固溶体的溶解度和热力学的研究以及合成材料在高温高压下的行为。 更具体地说，该技术员将直接支持这些PI的各种研究项目，包括对来自Sierra内华达州和Basin and Range省的下地壳岩石的地震特性进行实验室研究，测量合成泥质岩的溶解度，以及研究橄榄石固溶体的热力学。 ***
