EQUIPMENT

	The lab is equipped with a simple pure shear apparatus, built in Uppsala at the Hans Ramberg Tectonic Lab, and a complex pure/simple shear apparatus designed and built in Florence by the lab staff. This apparatus is also equipped with a magma injection system (view photo on the left).
	The lab is also equipped with: Centrifuge of large-capacity (maximum model dimensions are 25cmx15cmx5cm)
	Optix 400 Laser Scanner Produced by 3D Digital Corp.
	Cony-Cylindrical Visco Meter

EXPERTISE/FIELDS OF RESEARCH

• Developement, evolution and deformation characteristics of fold-and-thrust belts.
  
• Centrifuge models of extensional tectonics; dymamics of continental rifting. Salt diaprism.
  
• Magma intrusion in different geodynamic settings.
• Fault inversion/reactivation.
• Ice flow dynamics and meteorite collection in Antarctica.
