Laboratory of Vacuum Techniques in Geophysics and Planetology
Head of the laboratory: | dr hab. Konrad Kossacki |
Localisation: | ul. Pasteura 5, B4.13 |
Institute: | IG |
Department: | APD |
This laboratory was originally organized to study geophysical processes on the surfaces of comets and another atmosphere less cosmic bodies rich in ice. The investigated processes include:
- erosion driven by the sublimation of different ices, or complex materials containing ice,
- the occurrence of landslides due to the outgassing of subsurface material.
The laboratory research is performed using our own vacuum chamber.
