Nominator's project description
| Professor Jacobsen is a mineral physicist who is internationally recognised for his research on the deep cycling of H2O within the Earth's interior. By experimentally characterising the effects of dissolving H2O into minerals on the velocity of seismic waves that travel through the Earth, he pioneered the remote sensing of H2O within the Earth's deep interior. While in Germany, he will examine mineral inclusions trapped in diamonds and perform high pressure experiments to interpret these findings in terms of the oxidation state of rocks and magmas within the Earth. |
