Short Introduction
As described in Voyage au centre de la terre by Jules Verne, the deep interior of the Earth has been of great interest for humankind. However, there are great challenges to understanding the structure and dynamics of the deep Earth due to the extreme conditions present there, i.e. ultra-high pressure and temperature. To meet these challenges, experimentalists from the high-pressure Earth science community reproduce such extreme conditions -- up to 364 GPa and 5000 ℃ -- that prevail at the center of the Earth, in a laboratory. Our group is working on technical development of innovative high-pressure deformation technology toward understanding the dynamics of Earth's inner core.
