flow in the upper mantle, with a focus on the water content and stress
associated with olivine E-type fabric formation. The project will involve
experiments on olivine aggregates using a recently updated Griggs-type
high-pressure apparatus, combined with microstructural and geochemical
analyses of natural and experimental samples. The postdoc will contribute
