Hauke was invited to present some of the group research at this year’s Goldschmidt Conference in Praque. The talk entitled „Strength of (Mg, Fe)O Ferropericlase at High-Pressures and High-Temperatures and Slab Stagnation in the Shallow Lower Mantle“ was schedule in session 25d „Physics and Chemistry of Earth Materials – Insights from Simulations and Experiments“.

Almost the entire GeoMaX research group was attending the Goldschmidt Conference in Praque.

Alexander gave a talk about „Single-Crystal Elastic Properties of Mg_0.88Fe_0.12Si_0.09Al_0.11O₃ Bridgmanite at High Pressure“.

Johannes and Kirsten (both PhD students) presented Brillouin scattering and XRD results on posters entitled „Internally Consistent High-Pressure Elasticity of Single-Crystal (Mg,Fe)2SiO₄ Wadsleyite“ and „Direct Quantification of the Effects of Iron Content and Hydration on the High-Pressure Elasticity of Single-Crystal Ringwoodite“, respectively.
