Petrology, commonly defined as “The Study of the History of Rocks” (p. 376 in Dictionary of Geological Terms, American  Geological Institute) aims to characterize the physics and chemistry of  mass and energy transfer processes. At the Geophysical Laboratory the contributions to our understanding of these processes are experimental determination of properties of rock-forming materials and how to apply the property information to characterize rock-forming processes at the pressures and temperatures in the crust, the mantle, and the core of the Earth and terrestrial planets.

The rock-forming materials include all crystalline and molten silicates and oxides (minerals and magmatic liquids) as well as volatile-rich fluids. Experimentally determined properties include mineral, melt, and fluid structure, transport and volume properties (viscosity, diffusivity, conductivity, density, compressibility, and expansivity) at high temperature and pressure, and assessment of the mechanisms, on the atomic scale, the relate properties to structure. These experimental data are obtained with equipment capable of covering the pressure and temperature range of essentially the entire Earth. Some experiments (structure and related properties) are conducted while the sample is at appropriate temperature and pressure, whereas others rely on examination of experimentally produced materials after quenching to ambient pressure and temperature. Evaluation of the quenching path on property and structure behavior is an integral part of all experimental endeavors.Fig. 2: Abundance of Qn-species as a function of their NBO/T where NBO/T is calculated to incorporate the effect of H2O.

Major, minor, and trace element distribution among these phases is central to our understanding for the formation and evolution of the Earth. The necessary experimental element partitioning and isotope fractionation data are obtained in the laboratory throughout the pressure and temperature range.  The partitioning behavior is also characterized in terms of thermodynamics of mineral, melt, and fluid solutions and its relationship to structure in order to provide a basis for modeling partitioning and fractionation under conditions not readily attainable in the laboratory. Fig. 3: Raman spectra of Na2Si4O9 glass quenched from 1400oC at 2 GPa after equilibration with an N-rich atmosphere and where and fn was controlled with the hydrogen buffers indicated on the individual spectra.These experimental data are employed to extract past and present rock-forming processes, and often combined with experimental mineral physics information (equation-of-state) and geophysical data to characterize major boundaries within terrestrial planetary bodies. There are major efforts that focus on the formation and evolution of early magma oceans and core separation,  and with the formation and evolution of chemistry and physics associated with major discontinuities in the Earth.Volatile-rich fluids in the system C-H-O-N-S serve as major transport agents in the Earth’s interior throughout its history. The C-H-O-N-S S components are, furthermore, of great interest because understanding of their behavior in pressure, temperature, composition space provides the basis for characterization of degassing processes, formation evolution of atmospheres and oceans, and provide a natural link to the organic world and characterization of processes relevant to the emergence of life. To this end, high-pressure/-temperature experimental programs are aimed at determination of solubility of volatiles in silicate melts and crystalline materials, as well as of silicates in volatile-rich fluids. The solution mechanisms (speciation) and their implication for mineral, melt, and fluid properties as well as element and C-H-O-N-S isotope  distribution represent a major experimental effort at the Geophysical Laboratory. Integrated studies, using experimental data from the laboratory, together with natural observations and theoretical modeling, guide petrology at the Geophysical Laboratory. Ultimately, this information coupled with data from other observational and experimental endeavors at the Geophysical Laboratory and elsewhere, will provide the quantitative data needed to describe the formation and evolution of the Earth and terrestrial planets in our solar system and perhaps elsewhere.
