COMPRES Annual Report to NSF for Year 3: Photographs

Frontispeice:

Cover page of the report on: "Current and Future Research Directions in High-Pressure Mineral Physics.” This report is an outgrowth of the discussions and results of a Workshop held on March 22-23, 2003 in Miami, Florida under the auspices of the NSF Division of Earth Sciences and convened by Jay Bass and Donald Weidner. The report was edited by Jay Bass using the materials presented at the Workshop or submitted soon thereafter, in collaboration with Ellen Kappel of Geosciences Professional Services, Inc. In recognition of his work, we expect that this report will henceforth be known as the Bass Report.
