The research interests of the Extreme Conditions Laboratory (ECL) at the Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica, focus on exploring physical properties of minerals under extreme conditions, e.g., extremely high pressure (higher than 150 GPa), high/low temperature (tens to thousands of Kelvin), and short time scale (picoseconds to nanoseconds). Our current researches include using ultrafast optics combined with extreme pressure and temperature techniques to simulate the environments in the Earth and planetary interiors, and to study thermal and electrical conductivity, sound velocity, Raman spectroscopy and spin transition of important constituents in Earth and planetary interiors. Recent topics include, but not limited to, thermochemical and geomagnetic evolution in Earth and terrestrial planets, mantle dynamics, correlation between the early magma ocean and present deep mantle structure, subduction dynamics and its impacts on intermediate-depth earthquakes, and Earth’s deep water and carbon cycle, etc.
We are looking for highly motivated members. Welcome to join us!
