Putting the Squeeze on Silicate Chains - High-Pressure Mineral Behavior

Explore the fascinating world of high-pressure mineral behavior in this 34-minute talk by Przemyslaw Dera from the University of Hawaii. Delve into the intricacies of silicate chain compression as part of the Mineralogical Society of America's Centennial Symposium. Moderated by Carl Agee from the University of New Mexico, the session focuses on synchrotron-based studies of minerals under extreme pressure conditions. Begin with a welcome address by Eric Isaacs, President of the Carnegie Institution for Science, before diving into the main presentation. Gain valuable insights into the latest research and methodologies used to study the structural changes of silicate minerals under high-pressure environments.
