Carl B. Agee
Ph.D., Columbia University, 1988. (Professor and
Director of the Institute of Meteoritics) (505) 277-1644 Email: agee@unm.edu
Research and Academic Interests:
Origin and evolution of planetary interiors. High-pressure multi-anvil techniques
applied to problems in experimental petrology. Magma physics with emphasis on
mobility of silicate and metallic liquids at high pressure. Experimental trace
element partitioning studies to elucidate the differentiation of the Earth,
Moon, and Mars.
