DSU Dr. Gabriel Guanmícia Received NSF Scholarship of $672,000 for HBCU Excellence in Research Scholarship

27 July 2021

Dover, Dell. The National Science Foundation (NSF) of Delaware State University has awarded Dr. Gabriel Guanemesia a three-year HBCU Research Excellence Scholarship worth $672,000 to support mantle mineral research.

Dr. Guanezia, Professor of Physics and Engineers, will use the grant to support his current research project, titled “Effect of Wetting on Thermal Elastic Properties of Mantle Minerals and Geophysical Effects.” The scholarship is jointly funded by two National Science Foundation initiatives—Historically Black Colleges and Universities—Excellence in Research (HBCU-EiR) and Earth Sciences (EAR) programs.

The research focuses on wadsleyite and ringwoodite, two notable minerals found at depths from 410 to 660 kilometers below the Earth’s surface, in an area known as the transition zone. Laboratory and theoretical studies have confirmed that the bimetallic can incorporate up to 2-3 percent by weight (20,000 to 30,000 ppm) hydroxyl water into the structure, depending on pressure and temperature conditions.

Structural water causes significant changes in physical properties (such as electrical and thermal conductivity, melting, and rock flow), including how quickly earthquake vibrations travel through the mineral. Earth scientists also speculate that the mass of water in the minerals could easily exceed that of the world’s oceans, given the relative abundance of the Wadslite and Ringwoodite phases in the transition zone.

Dr. Guanmezia will use high-pressure techniques to manufacture synthetic samples of these mantle base minerals while controlling the water content in the laboratory and measuring the speed of sound waves (velocity) in the mineral. The study can solve persistent questions about anomalous increases in sound wave velocity in the transition region by comparing the study data with seismic vibration wave profiles from seismic studies. When combined with data from other fields of geophysics, the study results can greatly increase our knowledge of Earth’s structure and chemical composition.

The sample will be synthesized at the High Pressure Laboratory at Stony Brook University, Long Island, NY. Dr. Guanmesia will measure the velocities of sound waves under synchrotron X radiation at the Advanced Photon Light Source (APS) at Argonne. National Laboratory in Chicago.

Drivers that have busy working schedules, can compare quotes from anywhere and at any time, even at midnight. Multiple choices. Almost all insurance providers, no matter if they are well-known brands or just local insurers, have an online presence. Online quotes will allow policyholders the chance to discover multiple insurance companies and check their prices. Drivers are no longer required to get quotes from just a few known insurance companies. Also, local and regional insurers can provide lower insurance rates for the same services. Accurate insurance estimates. Online quotes can only be accurate if the customers provide accurate and real info about their car models and driving history. Lying about past driving incidents can make the price estimates to be lower, but when dealing with an insurance company lying to them is useless. Usually, insurance companies will do research about a potential customer before granting him coverage. Online quotes can be sorted easily. Although drivers are recommended to not choose a policy just based on its price, drivers can easily sort quotes by insurance price. Using brokerage websites will allow drivers to get quotes from multiple insurers, thus making the comparison faster and easier. For additional info, money-saving tips, and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.Org/ Compare-autoinsurance.Org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes.
