2026 ISRD SEES Rock Deformation Workshop
A Tutorial on Synchrotron-Based Rock Deformation Experiments This hands-on workshop is to introduce high-pressure, high-temperature experimental techniques using synchrotron radiation in a real beamline environment. Participating researchers will gain practical experience in preparing deformation cell assemblies, operating high-pressure presses, monitoring strain and stress, measuring sound velocities during deformation experiments, and performing preliminary data processing. Dates: […]
IR Microprobe Project at NSLS-II
The IR microprobe is about to take light! If you are interested in discussing opportunities for “technical and science commissioning” measurements for Earth and Environmental samples then please reach out to Tiffany Victor ([email protected]) or Ryan Tappero ([email protected]) in the NSLS-II Bioimaging Facility (https://www.bnl.gov/nsls2/techniques/bioimaging.php) or our NSF-SEES partners in residence — Zhenxian Liu ([email protected]) or Roberto Colina […]
New Precision Pedestal Enhances 6BM High-Pressure Capabilities
A new, high precision pedestal for the 250-ton hydraulic press has been installed at SEES Beamline 6BM at the Advanced Photon Source. The press is equipped with a D-DIA module and a rotational Drickamer apparatus which covers a pressure range from the crust to the lower mantle. This SEES beamline is uniquely designed to investigate […]
