Laboratory Facilites & Equipment
Researchers at the Department of Geophysics have access to a wide variety of laboratories and equipment, either within the department or in associated departments. These include:
- Sensitive High Resolution
Ion Microprobe lab (SHRIMP-RG)
- The G.R.I.D.
Computer Lab has hardware and software for Geographic Information
Systems (GIS), imaging, design, training and data analysis.
- Nuclear magnetic resonance and Mossbauer spectrometers
- ESCA laboratory and a scanning tunneling microscope for surface studies
- Scanning and transmission electron microscopes
- Thermal-analysis equipment
- Laser-probe 40Ar/39Ar system and a fission-track laboratory for geochronology
- Perkin Elmer Lambda 35 UV/VIS spectrophotometer
- Wallac Winspectral 1414 Liquid Scintillation counter
- Walz Water-Pam (Pulse Amplitude Modulation Fluorometer)
- Fiber-optic Photosynthetron
- Turner Designers 10-AU Fluorometer
- Leitz Laborlux 11 Epi-fluorescence Microscope
- Acoustic cells for measuring ultrasonic velocities under temperature
and pressure
- Polyaxial ultrasonic cell
- Permeameters and porosimeters
- Electrical Resistivity apparatus
- X-ray diffractometer
- Electron microprobe with an image-analysis system
- High-pressure and high-temperature apparatus for experimental petrology
and the synthesis of minerals and magmas
- Paleomagnetic equipment

- Gas chromatographs
- Gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GCMS)
- Remote-sensing laboratory
- Acoustic Resonance system
In addition, the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory provides some of the best facilities in the world for studying the structure of materials by X-ray scattering and spectroscopy. A variety of facilities, including stable- and radiogenic-isotope laboratories, are available through ongoing collaborations with the U.S. Geological Survey, whose western regional headquarters are located about two miles from the campus.
