Introduction

The X-Ray Laboratory onboard the JOIDES Resolution performs diffraction analyses of minerals and rock powders using a D4 Endeavor XRD from Bruker AXS. Associated software, DIFFRACplus and TOPAS, allow for analysis of minerals and rock powders; including peak-matching and mineral & chemical compound identification. The XRD lab provides scientists with a quick and reliable tool for mineral identification; it is particularly useful for identifying fine-grained minerals or mixtures of alteration minerals that cannot be easily identified with other techniques onboard. XRD can also be used to determine the proportions of minerals present.
