Research Highlights

Water cycling into the lower mantle by hydrous aluminous silica phases
New materials synthesized at terapascal pressures for the first time
Depressed 660-km discontinuity caused by akimotoite-bridgmanite transition
Synthesis of paracrystalline diamond
Dry metastable olivine and slab deformation in a wet subducting slab
Novel experiments at BGI explain the sharpness of the 660 km discontinuity

DFG Core Facility for High Pressure Research

The Emmy Noether Research Group QuakeID aims at deciphering the rupture processes of deep earthquakes which occur at depths larger than 60 km.

Chemistry and transport properties of bridgmanite controlling lower-mantle dynamics. A research project funded by the European Research Council (ERC).

Master of Science in Experimental Geosciences.
For students who want to do research right from the beginning.
