The PI will provide new constraints on the strength and creep         rheology of the Earth's mantle by carrying out experiments on                   crystalline and amorphous minerals at pressure-temperature conditions           ranging up to 100 GPa and 5000K.  Novel experimental techniques                 developed in this laboratory during the past few years now make such            research possible.  Results at room temperature already demonstrate             that rheology is significantly affected by pressure and by                      pressure-induced transformations, both in crystalline and in metastable         liquid (i.e., glassy) phases.  The work would provide the first                 experimental constraints on global deformation processes, with                  far-reaching implications for our understanding of the thermal,                 chemical, and geodynamic evolution of the Earth.
