Petrologie, Geochemie und Lagerstättenkunde
Experimental Geochemistry and Petrology
The experimental investigations add to our knowledge of accretion and primordial differentiation processes in
planetary bodies as well as to our knowledge of element enrichment processes in the Earth's crust and upper
mantle.
On-going projects
are:
Phase relations in the Fe-Ni-Cu-PGE-S system at magmatic temperature
PGE
fractionation pattern in primitive mantle silicates and applications to PGE enrichment processes in massive
sulfide ore complexes
Systematic investigation of the
geochemical behavior of Pb and implications to terrestrial core formation scenarios
Textural
equilibria of iron sulfide liquids in partly molten silicate aggregates and their implications to mechanisms of
metal-silicate segregation during formation of metallic cores in terrestrial planets
Accretion and core formation of terrestrial
planets: insights from experimentally determined partition behavior of siderophile and chalcophile elements
between coexisting silicate, metal, and/or metal sulfide phases
Determination of pre-eruptive conditions in volcano magma chambers
Differentiation
of basaltic melts with the main emphasis on the origin of SiO2-rich residual melts
Development of high-pressure-high-temperature facilities (CSPV and IHPV) with possibility to control
fO2 and aH2O
Development
of high-temperature rapid quench centrifuge furnaces for separation of coexisting liquid and solid phases in
experimental charges
In situ analysis of trace
elements and isotops by Laser Ablation ICP-MS
Stratigraphy, metamorphic and
structural evolution of the Cyclades at the example of Syros Island
