Geology and Earth System Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab uncovers the history of the Earth through field geology and the analysis of rocks and minerals.
AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about the Earth as a whole
The Geology and Earth System Science Lab investigates the Earth's past through field geological surveys and physicochemical analysis of rocks and minerals.
The Earth was born about 4.6 billion years ago and reached its present form through material differentiation and interactions among its systems over timescales of hundreds of millions of years.
Unraveling the Earth's past leads to insight into the Earth of the present and the future.
Key terms
- Field geological survey
- Field geological survey: a survey in which researchers go out into the field to observe and record rocks and strata and collect samples for analysis.
- Material differentiation
- Material differentiation: the process by which the materials that make up the Earth separate into components that differ from place to place.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on topics that elucidate the state of the Earth just after its formation and material cycling in the deep Earth. It approaches the Earth's past through both field geological surveys and physicochemical analysis of rocks and minerals.
