CitationDan Frost is a distinguished experimental scientist studying the nature of Earth's deep interior and the formation processes of terrestrial planets. He employs the results of high pressure and temperature experiments on mineral, rock and magma properties to interpret geochemical and geophysical observations of the interior. In particular, his research has identified key processes in the deep carbon cycle that explain the long term retention of carbon in the interior. By measuring mineral elastic properties at high pressures he has placed constraints on the chemical composition of the lower mantle using the velocities of seismic waves measured for this region.
