Conclusions

As in some areas of research on technological materials, NMR spectroscopy is beginning to be an important method in studying geological materials. It can provide unique information on local structure that is essential in understanding energies, entropies, and densities of crystalline, amorphous, and liquid phases over the wide ranges of pressures and temperatures found in the Earth. Dynamical information from NMR is beginning to play a major role in understanding mechanisms of diffusion, phase transitions, and viscosity. High-resolution, high-temperature NMR offers especially exciting possibilities for greatly extending our knowledge of mass transport in both liquids and solids.
