Earth Materials

---

Research within the Earth Materials Division is perfomed by members of the Experimental Petrology, Rock Physics and Structure & Tectonics Groups. The Earth Materials division is an international leader in studies of earth materials under controlled laboratory conditions simulating those occurring in nature. Through such investigations we are developing understanding of the structure and chemical composition of planetary interiors and processes by which they evolve, such as accretion, core formation, mantle convection, volcanism, metamorphism, global tectonics and the formation of ore deposits.
