Current geophysical models of the Earth's mantle and core are                   based mostly on estimated properties of mantle and core minerals.               This study is to obtain properties of several mantle and core                   minerals by experiment simultaneously at high pressures and                     temperatures.  An important physical property of the deep Earth,                the pressure-volume-temperature equation of state, can be                       determined for candidate mantle minerals by the experiments.                    The results will be used to address problems of the composition                 of the Transition Zone, the lower mantle, and the core-mantle                   boundary.  The PIs will measure with high accuracy the thermal                  expansion and bulk modulus of mantle minerals at high pressures                 and temperatures in the System Fe-Mg-CA-A1-Si-O.2.  They are                    among the leading practitioners of this important area of                       research.  Funding at the revised level is recommended.
