Petrology and Geochemistry (CH) Description Important Announcement for Proposal Submission
The Petrology and Geochemistry Program (CH) supports basic research that uses any combination of field, analytical, experimental and theoretical approaches to explore the nature, origin, and temporal evolution of planet Earth's crust, mantle, and core. The Program accepts proposals in the broad areas of: mineralogy; crystallography; chemical aspects of mineral physics; thermodynamics; experimental petrology; igneous and metamorphic petrogenesis; ore deposit petrogenesis; volcanology; stable and radiogenic isotope geochemistry and geochronology applied to igneous and metamorphic systems; development of analytical methods; data storage and access; and modeling/imaging of chemical processes in the Earth.
