Upgrade of an Internally Heated Pressure Vessel (IHPV) in the AMNH Earth and Planetary Sciences Department

这笔赠款将支持美国自然历史博物馆(AMNH)从NASA购买的内部加热高压容器(IHPV)的翻新。深部条件下的实验是研究受控条件下岩浆化学演化的主要手段。该设备的安装将为参加AMNH赞助的高中、本科生、研究生、博士后和教师培训计划的学生提供更多的机会。增加的IHPV访问还将支持AMNH和其他非博物馆的同事，以增强美国在岩浆过程研究方面的竞争力。IHPV将用于研究受控条件下地质系统中熔体-矿物-流体的相平衡和组分分配行为。主要的研究目标是获得关键的、缺失的知识，以更好地解决岩浆的成分范围，这些岩浆以喷发威胁社会，或者是产生金属资源的热液成矿过程的一部分。

This grant will support the refurbishment of an internally heated high-pressure vessel (IHPV) acquired by the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) from NASA. Experiments under deep earth conditions are the primary means of investigating chemical evolution of magmas under controlled conditions. The installation of this apparatus will provide much greater access for students participating in AMNH-sponsored high school, undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, and teacher training programs. The additional IHPV access will also support AMNH and other, non-museum colleagues to enhance U.S. competitiveness in research in magmatic processes. The IHPV will be used to investigate melt-mineral-fluid phase equilibria and component partitioning behaviors in geologic systems under controlled conditions. The primary research objective is to obtain critical, missing knowledge to better address the compositional range of magmas that threaten society with eruptions or are part of hydrothermal mineralizing processes that produce metallic resources.
