Geophysics at the University of Michigan

		The GeoWall Project
A combination of new projection technology, fast graphics cards and inexpensive computers have made it possible to provide a stereo projection system that is much more affordable than previous commercial solutions. The GEOWALLproject makes use of these projection systems to visualize structure and dynamics of the Earth in stereo to aid the understanding of spatial relationships.

		Raman Spectroscopy and Diamond Anvil Cell Laboratory
Raman spectroscopy, a vibrational probe, gives us the capability of exploring the structure and dynamics of earth materials at the atomic level. This technique is combined with the diamond anvil cell, a transparent pressure vessel that allows us to observe earth materials either visually or by Raman in situ at high pressure and temperature. This combination allows us to explore such processes as the hydrous melting of igneous rocks and the interaction of silicates and volatiles at magma genetic conditions.
