Purdue University received a three-year $223,059 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will support collaborative research between Purdue University and the University of Hawaii at Manoa to experimentally and computationally constrain the isotope fractionation of mossbauer-inactive elements in mantle minerals. Researchers will leverage state-of-the-art x-ray spectroscopy and theoretical calculations to determine how isotopes of elements like silicon and titanium redistribute with pressure, temperature, and crystal structure in deep-earth minerals. They aim to develop new experimental instruments and open-source computational codes to efficiently constrain isotope fractionation in solid solutions. Undergraduate students and postdoctoral scholars will assist with this research. Findings will enhance understanding of the Earth's isotopic composition and chemical evolution.
