Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Understand the effectiveness of high-pressure experiments to understand the structure and evolutionary processes inside the Earth and planets, and aim for an integrated understanding from the perspective of Earth and planetary materials science. In particular, learn about unresolved problems through electrical conductivity measurements in Earth and planetary science. 
Class Schedule 1. Introduction of transport properties of Earth and planetary interiors under high pressure
2. Transport property of 2 phase system
3. Electrical conductivity of mantle minerals
4. Detection of water content by electrical conductivity measurement
5. Electrical conductivity of fluid and melt
6. Electrical conductivity of metal
7. Evaluation of connectivity of conductive phase in rock by electrical conductivity measurement
8. Thermal conductivity measurement and its application
9. Seebeck coefficient measurement and its application
10. Seismic attenuation measurement and its application
11. Core-mantle interaction
12. Element partitioning in magma ocean
