Lamont-Doherty Research As Art

Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory’s Annual Research as Art exhibition showcases the many creative talents of our community and links, either deliberate or incidental, between our work and art.

Anna Barth showing off her sculptures of infrared spectra from experiments to determine the diffusivity of hydrogen in magmatic olivine.

My own submission: a cluster of pyroxene and olivine crystals mounted for infrared spectroscopy. I took the photo with a cellphone through the microscope eyepiece before the analysis, to record how the sample was oriented.
