This project will result in the construction of an automated               system for measuring elastic constants and sound velocities in                  minerals at high temperatures up to 1800 K. The design and                      construction of the apparatus will be carried out in the Mineral                Physics Laboratory of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary                 Physics at UCLA.                                                                     The importance of the measurements that will be made possible              by the equipment is tied to fact that geophysical models of the                 structure of the Earth's interior are partly based on estimates of              the velocity of propagation of sound waves at in situ                           temperatures. The measurement of sound velocities with the new                  instrumentation will be carried out on the class of minerals                    considered likely to be present in the mantle and will play an                  important role in testing and refining models of the interior.
