Technician Support for the University of Wisconsin-Madison High Pressure-High Temperature Laboratory

9710478克里斯滕森这笔补助金为技术人员提供为期三年的部分工资支持。该技术人员将负责威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校新建的高压高温设备的操作和维护。该设施包括Nik Christensen的岩石物理实验室（在普渡大学工作了13年后，刚刚开始在威斯康星州工作）和Herb Wang的岩石物理实验室，以及Lukas Baumgartner和Reid Cooper的热液实验室。这些PI的研究重点包括研究下地壳和上地幔压力和温度下地质材料的地震特性，研究上地壳岩石的孔隙弹性特性，研究固溶体的溶解度和热力学以及合成材料在高温高压下的行为。更具体地说，该技术人员将直接支持这些PI参与各种研究项目，包括内华达山脉、盆地和山脉省下地壳岩石地震特性的实验室研究、合成泥质体溶解度的测量以及橄榄石固溶体热力学的研究。* * *

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. ***
