| Abstract | This project will use high-pressure and high-temperature laboratory experiments to simulate processes of magma formation. Researchers will study different electrical charges of iron in Earth’s mantle and how differing conditions affect key Earth processes. Examples include the production of volcanic gases, the concentration of critical minerals and ores, and the formation of diamonds. The team will then use the experimental results to develop a mathematical model and that model will be shared wi |
