Publications by Russell J. Hemley related to the DCO (2009-2015)
Rus Hemley’s publications related to carbon research have spanned a wide range of topics,
including the synthesis and characterization of vapor-deposited diamonds, the applications
of those diamonds to new experimental techniques at extreme conditions, the behavior of
carbon compounds at extreme conditions, characterization of new C-bearing materials, and
explorations of the high-pressure limits of microbial life. Much of this work leverages
DCO funding by employing major national facilities for UV, X-ray, and neutron studies.

Publications by Robert M. Hazen related to the DCO (2009-2015)
Publications by Bob Hazen related to carbon in Earth science include studies of mineral
evolution (Earth’s changing mineralogy through deep time), mineral ecology (statistical
studies of the diversity and distribution of minerals on Earth), interactions between
biomolecules and mineral surfaces (especially as related to life’s origins), the evolution of
complex systems, the co-evolution of the geosphere and biosphere, and uses and
applications of deep-time data. He also has contributed many books and articles written to
engage a wider general audience readership. These works highlight aspects of the DCO
research portfolio.
