معرفی
Bernie Wood is a Professor of Mineralogy and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Oxford's Department of Earth Sciences. His research focuses on experimental petrology and planetary formation processes, combining high-pressure/temperature experiments with geochemical analysis to understand Earth's evolution and planetary differentiation. He develops quantitative models for trace element partitioning and investigates volatile elements' behavior during planetary formation.
His work includes simulating core-mantle differentiation through metal-silicate partitioning experiments and studying moderately volatile elements (e.g., Pb, Bi, Sb) using specialized high-temperature furnaces. Recent research emphasizes halogen and sulfur behavior in silicate melts.
Teaching includes second-year thermodynamics courses. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided text. His experimental lab work involves collaborations on planetary materials and isotopic measurements, though specific lab names or teams are not detailed.
