Fluid Inclusion Research

Fluid inclusion research involves studying tiny pockets of fluid trapped inside minerals during their formation. These fluid inclusions provide valuable information about the Earth's history, such as the temperature, pressure, and composition of fluids present when minerals formed. By analyzing these inclusions, scientists can interpret past geological conditions, understand mineral deposits like ore bodies, and reconstruct thermal histories of rocks. This research helps in resource exploration and offers insights into Earth's evolution, climate changes, and hydrothermal processes on a detailed, microscopic scale.
