campus</span></span><span style="color:#3A3A3A"> on <b><i>May 21-23, 2024</i></b>. This workshop will focus on neutron and X-ray scattering and imaging as well as their applications in studying the dynamic properties of earth and planetary materials.

<span style="color:#3A3A3A">Integration of beamline technologies and rock deformation experiments can facilitate the investigation of the feedback between evolving mechanical properties, deformation textures, and deformation mechanisms, leading to much more
robust extrapolation of lab-based rheological models to Earth and other planets. The NSF-funded Research Coordination Network (RCN) “In Situ Studies of Rock Deformation” (ISRD) aims at developing novel methods that exploit the beamline capabilities, enabling
the next generation of rock deformation experiments, wherein samples can be examined while they are deforming. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
