Dr. Sarah Incel
Meine Forschung konzentriert sich darauf, wie Prozesse, die auf der Nano- bis Mikrometerebene stattfinden, z. B. plastische Verformung und metamorphe Reaktionen, die Reaktivität und/oder das Verformungsverhalten von Gesteinen auf der Meter- bis Kilometerebene beeinflussen können. Mein wissenschaftlicher Ansatz ist die experimentelle Arbeit in Verbindung mit umfangreichen mikro- und nanostrukturellen Analysen. In den vergangenen Jahren habe ich Experimente mit der Kolben-Zylinder-Presse und in der Griggs-Deformationsapparatur durchgeführt; beide befinden sich im Labor für Experimentelle Gesteinsphysik an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Außerdem hatte ich die besondere Gelegenheit, modernste Verformungsexperimente in einer DDIA durchzuführen, welche auf der 13-BM-D-Synchrotron-Beamline am Advanced Photon Source, National Laboratory, Il, USA, montiert ist. Um die experimentellen Ergebnisse mit der Natur in Beziehung zu setzen, verwende ich maßstabsunabhängige Modelle, die auf Reaktionskinetik basieren, und vergleiche die experimentellen Mikrostrukturen mit natürlichen Mikrostrukturen in Gesteinen, die ich im Gelände gesammelt habe.
