Geological Fluid/Volatile Cycle

High-temperature and high-pressure experiments simulate the physic-chemical conditions within the Earth, studying the distribution characteristics and migration mechanisms of fluids/melts in the Earth's interior, exploring the geochemical behavior of elements during the interaction between deep rocks and fluids/melts.

Simulation Study on Planetary Surface Evolution

Experimental simulations of the physic-chemical conditions on and near planetary surfaces investigate the effect of rock-fluid interactions under extreme planetary conditions on the composition of planetary surfaces and atmospheres.

Physical Properties of Rocks under Extreme Conditions

In-situ rock conductivity measurements under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, combined with synchrotron radiation X-ray tomography, provide experimental constraints for the causes of geophysical anomalies, revealing differences in material composition, structure, and tectonics across different planetary layers.

The Influence of Differential Stress

Deformation experiments under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions explore the effects of differential stress on the physic-chemical properties of deep rocks.
