Mineralogy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that decodes information about the Earth and the universe recorded in minerals.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading information about the Earth and the universe from minerals.
The Mineralogy Lab decodes information about the Earth and the universe recorded in minerals, based on the results of physicochemical experiments on a wide variety of natural minerals.
It is one of the fields in the Earth Evolution Sciences Major of the College of Earth Sciences at the University of Tsukuba.
Examples of graduation research topics include ancient West Asian pottery, fluids of granitic origin, and glass inclusions in carbonaceous chondrites.
Key terms
- Crystal structure analysis
- A method of investigating, using X-rays and other means, how atoms are arranged inside a crystal
- Inclusion
- Small particles of liquid, gas, solid, or other material trapped inside a mineral crystal (inclusions)
- Carbonaceous chondrite
- A type of meteorite (carbonaceous chondrite) that is rich in carbon-bearing components
ResearchResearch themes
The lab decodes information about the Earth and the universe recorded in minerals, based on the results of physicochemical experiments on a wide variety of natural minerals. The faculty's research covers mineral synthesis and crystal structure analysis, and the composition and behavior of fluids in the Earth's interior.
