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.
