| The Haskel High Pressure Laboratory at UCL conducts basic
research into effects of high pressure and high temperature
on igneous rock/mineral/magma systems using a solid media high
pressure apparatus.
Areas of research include understanding the origins of mantle
derived melts and minerals (silicate and non silicate, but
especially carbonate systems) , and results are incoporated
into undergraduate teaching courses.
Research Equipment includes:
2 x 1000 ton presses for interchangeable Walker-style
multi-anvil and piston cylinder cells, with resistive heating
systems and in-situ measurements of conductivity under mantle
conditions.
