Penn State researchers look to build on Deines legacy in lab named in his honor
by David Kubarek
A recently dedicated lab at Penn State bears the name of a longtime geosciences faculty member, Peter Deines, who used isotope geochemistry to better understand processes deep within the Earth.
The facility, which is housed in a newly renovated portion of the basement of the Deike Building, features state-of-the-art equipment designed to benefit the research of the geosciences department at Penn State, and beyond. The lab features a large suite of instruments that can analyze isotopes within a wide array of molecules and minerals.
