Geophysical Laboratory

The Geophysical Laboratory is a research facility often associated with the Carnegie Institution for Science. It focuses on studying the Earth’s structure and processes, including its materials, environment, and dynamic systems. Researchers at the laboratory use advanced techniques to explore topics like the formation of minerals, the behavior of materials under extreme conditions, and planetary science. This work contributes to our understanding of geophysics, helps address resource management, and informs our knowledge about other planets and celestial bodies. Essentially, it plays a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge about Earth and beyond.
