Custom-built apparatus allows the laboratory to look at how the microscopic features of specific minerals ultimately influence the mechanics of plate tectonics.

Earth science is a highly interdisciplinary subject with a focus on understanding the processes behind the formation and evolution of the solid earth, its oceans and atmosphere. At the University of Oxford, researchers are investigating the science behind rock deformations, using equipment developed in collaboration with PI to look at how the microscopic features of specific minerals ultimately influence the mechanics of plate tectonics.
