By probing chemical processes observed in the Earth's hot mantle, scientists have started developing a library of basalt-based spectral signatures that not only will help reveal the composition of ...

"When the Earth's mantle melts, it produces basalts," said Esteban Gazel, professor of engineering. Basalt, a gray-black volcanic rock found throughout the solar system, are key recorders of geologic ...

Both Barstow and Gazel have been conducting research in this realm for years, but a chance meeting at a Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability event in 2018 brought their two disciplines together.

Critical elements such as copper and nickel, and rare earths such as neodymium and dysprosium, are key ingredients for carbon-neutral renewable energy ...

Then King Gazel of the Armed Nation of Dwargon, Fuze of the Kingdom of Blumund, and Eren’s father, Archduke Elalude of the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion, all arrive in Tempest, and an important ...
