Chemical Evolution of the Solid Earth and Volcanology
Funds research into how the Earth's core, mantle and crust formed and changed — including volcanology and ore deposits.
CESEV funds work on the origin and evolution of the planet itself: its core, its mantle, its continental crust.
The methods are deliberately unconstrained — laboratory, field, experimental, theoretical and computational studies all count. What links them is the subject: the continuous high-temperature igneous and metamorphic geochemical and petrologic processes that shape the Earth.

Origin and evolution of the solid Earth — core, mantle and continental crust — through the high-temperature igneous and metamorphic geochemical and petrologic processes that shape it. Volcanology and magmatic processes, ore deposits and economic geology, and geochronology are all in scope.
