Summary
David Headley Green was Director, Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University from 1994 to 2001. He has used laboratory experimental techniques to duplicate the very high pressures and temperatures which exist in the earth's crust and uppermost mantle. The experimental studies have led to models of the origins of, and relationships between, different volcanic magmas or melts in the earth. He has also led studies of the nature of fluids, particularly methane, water and carbon dioxide, in the deep earth, and their relationships with melting
