Thermal evolution of the planet interior is a fundamental problem in Earth and planetary sciences. Geothermobarometers and geospeedometers are powerful tools in studying the thermal …
The first three chapters of this thesis are focused on experimental determinations of noble gas solubility in a variety of materials relevant to partial melting …
The nature of the early martian climate, hydrological cycle, and their relationship to the impact cratering process has remained enigmatic, but are critically important in …
How temperature influences the micromechanics of faulting is central to the mechanics of earthquakes and faulting. Quantitative microscopy was conducted on a quartz sandstone experimentally …
Experiments were conducted in a Griggs-type deformation apparatus at high temperature and pressure to determine the effects of fluids on rock rheology. In the first …
