Indoor vs Outdoor Geophysics Robert C. Liebermann*1,2, 1 Department of Geosciences, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY USA 2 Mineral Physics Institute, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY USA Knowledge of the composition and mineralogy of the Earth’s interior is provided by direct sampling [geology], direct observation of wave propagation [seismology] and indirect experiments [mineral physics and chemistry]. Mineral physicists use the techniques of condensed matter physics and solid-state chemistry to determine the fundamental physical and chemical properties of minerals and rocks, and then apply these studies to Earth problems from the atomic to global scale. These mineral physics studies impact many other geoscience disciplines, including petrology, seismology, geodynamics, geomagnetism, geochemistry, and planetary science, as well as materials science and climate science.
