The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $641,554 Project Grant to the Carnegie Institution of Washington to support research measuring the melting curve of iron to the pressure of Earth's inner core boundary from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The research aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through latent-heat based measurements of the melting properties of iron at extreme pressures similar to those in Earth's deep interior. The grant supports basic research aligned with the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) goal of expanding understanding of the Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences studies.
