Experimental Earth Science Lab
Dynamic properties including rheology, element diffusion, reaction kinetics and acoustic emission, of deep Earth materials are studied based on experimental petrology.

The theoretical mineral physics group (TMPG) investigates ultrahigh-pressure behaviors of Earth and planetary materials theoretically and computationally by means of the ab initio quantum mechanical computation method based on the density functional theory.
We aim to generate ultra-high pressures up to 1 TPa, exceeding the pressure at the center of the Earth (365 GPa), by the static compression realized by diamond anvil cells with the microfabrication technology and physical property measurement equipment available at GRC.
