Projects using the Goldschmidt Lab

DIME is an ERC Advanced Grant funded project, focussing on mechano-chemical processes in rocks far from equilibrium, reaching from CO2 sequestration in basalts at the Earth’s surface to the development of shear zones in the lower crust. The Goldschmidt Lab and it's scanning electron microscopy and associated techniques (cathodoluminescence, electron backscatter diffraction) are crucial for this research.

The 54-month GREENPEG project, funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 programme, aims to develop multi-method exploration toolsets for the identification of European rare-metal pegmatite ore deposits. SEM-CL images are taken in the Goldschmidt Lab.

The MAPLES – MAgma PLays with sEdimentary rockS, is a Norwegian Young Talent project (NFR) aimed at investigating interactions between intrusive magma bodies and their sedimentary host rocks. Three images show their use of the Goldschmidt Lab.
