When executed as a simplified workflow on the Cheetah-MS web server, the results are reported in a Jupyter Notebook. Here, we demonstrate the technical aspects of how the Jupyter Notebook can be extended for a more in-depth analysis.

Environment High-pressure, High-temperature Deformation Experiment Using the New Generation Griggs-type Apparatus Jacques Précigout1, Holger Stünitz1,2, Yves Pinquier3, Rémi Champallier1, Alexandre Schubnel3 1Institut des Sciences de la Terre d’Orléans (ISTO), UMR 7327, CNRS-BRGM, Université d’Orléans, 2Department of Geology, University of Tromsø, 3Laboratoire de Géologie, UMR 8538, CNRS, Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS Paris) Rock deformation needs to be quantified at high pressure. A description of the procedure to perform deformation experiments in a newly designed solid-medium Griggs-type apparatus is here given. This provides technological basis for future rheological studies at pressures up to 5 GPa.
