Team Leader : [FonctionNom fonction= »Responsable équipe Pétrologie Expérimentale » lang= »en »]

Study of volcanic, petrological and mineralogical phenomena taking place inside the Earth and other planets, with a two-fold approach:

• Experiments at high-pressure and/or high-temperature from 1 bar to Mbar using tools such as gas-mixing furnaces up to the laser-heated diamond anvil cell (see Equipments). We also use in-situ and synchrotron approaches.

• The study of natural samples: melt inclusions, igneous and metamorphic rocks.

Our team is composed of 20 permanent staff members (14 teaching researchers, 5 CNRS researchers, 1 IRD researcher), 3 Post-docts and 8 students.

Themes

I.   Magmatism and planetary differentiation

II.  Kinetics of Magmatic Processes

III. The Geodynamic Cycle of Volatiles

IV.  Redox Processes
