This award provides partial (50%) funding to acquire a high-               temperature deformation system with a servo-controlled actuator.                The apparatus will be installed and operated in the Department of               Geology and Geophysics at the University of Minnesota. The                      University is committed to providing the remaining 50% of the                   acquisition cost for this equipment.                                                 The equipment will be incorporated in a new mineral and rock               deformation laboratory at the University of Minnesota.                          Fundamental materials science studies on ductile deformation and                deformation microstructures of rocks and minerals will be                       studied. Specific subjects of research will include the plastic                 flow properties of dense oxides of the mantle, including                        perovskites and garnets and the very low strain transient creep                 in olivines and perovskite. Such experiments serve to provide                   laboratory analogs to plastic flow of the Earth's mantle.
