NEW PAPER OUT 🌋 We present a Petro-chemical study of lavas from #Marsili #volcano and show how distinct #magma dynamics are defined for the three different sectors of the volcano @FabioColleHPHT @MatteoMasotta84 @SSimone_Costa @GiacomoniPier sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our first experimental paper is finally out! We combined SR-μCT and EPMA data to investigate the effect of ΔT on #clinopyroxene growth in a basaltic melt from #Stromboli. Full story here: doi.org/10.1016/j.lith… @FabioColleHPHT @MatteoMasotta84 @SSimone_Costa @elettrasincro

So grateful to be at the #MetSoc2023 with the @barringermeteor travel grant @HPHTLab_UNIPI @MeteoriticalSoc @Unipisa @DstUNIPI @CISUP1

@SapienzaRoma @ZEISS_Group And now @ianninistefano from @HPHTLab_UNIPI talking about microtomography on molten meteorites!

Last day of EPMA analysis at NHM in Wien with @ianninistefano and @MatteoMasotta84 #meteorites #experiments #highpressure

Great lab work on meteorite experiments by @ianninistefano @HPHTLab_UNIPI visiting #UQmagmateam #RIFlab @uq_sees !! V excited to see the #laser ablation #ICPMS element maps 😊🧪

Pushing our research to a higher pressure 🥽🌡💎 at @unibt

It’s been an amazing week working on meteorites and experiments with @ianninistefano @Unipisa and @BurkeTahnee @MonashEAE in our lab @UQ_sees #RIFlab #UQmagmateam !! Thanks both for visiting and for your great work!!🤗🧪

We synthesised a sulphide-metal bearing porphyritic cosmic spherule from a nearly metal-free CM2 chondrite. The metal beads likely derive from the reduction of FeO in the melt. This experiment leaves a lot of interesting questions to the 2023 list of problems to solve.

Last experiment of the year, this time seriously! Melting a carbonaceous chondrite fragment at 1500 deg under reducing conditions to simulate atmospheric entry of micrometeorites and examine volatile loss.

Students got excited for seeing this video of a vesiculation experiment performed using a hydrothermal moissanite cell, showing (literally) a magma breathing.

Last HP experiment of 2022: a smiley plagioclase undergoing dissolution in a hydrous basaltic melt. Maybe excited to go on holiday??? 🎄💫🌋 #plagioclase #highpressure #stromboli

Celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the HP-HT lab 🎊🎉🌋 #petrology #volcanology #meteorites #structural_geology @SSimone_Costa @MatteoMasotta84 @GiacomoniPier @FabioColleHPHT @ianninistefano Maria Di Rosa, Irene Rocchi

First EPMA session on experimental products of Marsili seamount #petrology #volcanology @SSimone_Costa @FabioColleHPHT

First high pressure synthesis of spinel lherzolite with @LucaZiberna, @MatteoMasotta84, @FabioColleHPHT and Marco Beltrame #petrology #mantle @GeoTrieste

Today we are at the microprobe analyzing magmatic amphibole #petrology #volcanology @SSimone_Costa @GiacomoniPier

Looking at one of the first phase equilibria experiments on Paraná dacites 🌋

Saturday morning quench after a 48h long experiment! #petrology #volcanology #lab

First 48h phase equilibria experiment completed 💊🔬 with @EmilyCBamber Getting ready for the next run! #petrology #volcanology #highpressure

@Saffybonbon why not the whole crucible in water?
