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: […]
