Utilizing High Pressure Techniques to Elucidate the Behavior of Matter

The Gordon Research Seminar on "Research at High Pressure: Utilizing High Pressure Techniques to Elucidate the Behavior of Matter from Deep Within Earth's Crust, to the Biotic Communities of the Ocean and Crustal Environments to the Cores of Gas Giants and Onto the Structures of Tomorrow" is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is the continued development of High Pressure Research as a tool for studying matter at extreme conditions, currently all areas of high pressure research show great complexity; biological systems, large unit cells, electrides, and bonding at multi-Mbar pressures, multi-eV temperatures. Dissemination of new diverse and evolving techniques utilized by the numerous high pressure communities will also be an important aspect of the meeting. Representatives (Graduate Students and Post-docs) from the many fields in high pressure science will present their results, applications, and tools in a manner accessible to all whilst provoking in-depth conversations and new ideas.
