ClayLab team composition:
Introduction
The Laboratory of the Clay Minerals Research Group (Clay-Lab) is one of few in the world and the only one in Poland, fully equipped with all tools used to study minerals in the group of layered aluminosilicates. The laboratory deals with structural, quantitative and qualitative analysis of rocks and soils containing clay minerals. In addition, the laboratory conducts research on the potential of high pressure methane adsorption on shale and coal samples, geochronological measurements of rocks and silicate minerals, research on thermal transformations of minerals, supporting interpretation of results by molecular modelling. ClayLab team consists of highly qualified personnel, who have the latest laboratory equipment at their disposal.
