COMPRES is a national, community-based consortium, with a mission to support research in the properties of materials that comprise the interiors of Earth and other planetary bodies, with particular emphasis on high-pressure science and technology and related fields. It is charged with the oversight and guidance of specialized laboratories at several national synchrotron facilities. COMPRES laboratory scientists determine the basic material properties of the inaccessible Earth and these measurements, in turn, shed light on questions of direct societal impact, such as the causes of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They can also help explain the formation of natural resources within the Earth, and they can improve our quality of life through the discovery of new advanced materials. As part of its mission, COMPRES continually develops new infrastructure and technologies to advance U.S. geoscience research.Data from mineral physics measurements carried out at COMPRES-supported facilities are critical for interpreting seismological and volcanological phenomena as well as other geophysical processes operating in the Earths interior. Synchrotron-based techniques have played an ever-increasing role in experimental efforts to measure properties of geological materials at high pressures and temperatures. COMPRES is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the new generation of synchrotrons that offer great promise for the coming decade and beyond. For example, our beam line facilities XPD and FIS will be stationed at Brookhaven National Laboratory?s National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II), which is a recently completed, $900 million facility, that produces X-rays over 10,000 times brighter than its predecessor NSLS, while providing improved spatial and energy resolution as well as a world-leading synchrotron-infrared (IR) radiation source. COMPRES also supports diamond anvil cell (DAC) beam lines at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) Argonne National Laboratory, at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and a multi-anvil press project at Arizona State University. The new or upgraded synchrotrons augmented by improvements in x-ray optics and detectors will lead to dramatic advances in measurements at high pressure. Thus, the upcoming period, spanned by the new 5-year cooperative agreement, offers exciting opportunities as these synchrotron facilities will dramatically improve experimental capabilities and allow for novel experiments needed to test hypotheses and address yet-unanswered questions on the nature of deep planetary interiors. Infrastructure and facility developments supported by COMPRES are at the same time creating a new generation of tools and techniques for attaining and measuring the deep interior environment in the laboratory.

Compres是一个国家，基于社区的财团，其使命是支持构成地球室内和其他行星机构材料属性的研究，特别强调了高压科学和技术及相关领域。它被控在几个国家同步设施中对专业实验室的监督和指导。 组合实验室科学家确定了无法接近地球的基本材料特性，而这些测量结果又阐明了直接社会影响的问题，例如地震和火山喷发的原因。他们还可以帮助解释地球内自然资源的形成，并且可以通过发现新的先进材料来改善我们的生活质量。 作为其任务的一部分，组合不断开发新的基础设施和技术来推进美国的地球科学研究。从矿物质物理学测量中进行的DATA在构成支持的设施上进行的矿物质物理学测量值对于解释地震学和火山学现象以及地球内部运行的其他地球物理过程至关重要。 基于同步加速器的技术在测量高压和温度下地质材料的性质的实验努力中发挥了不断增强的作用。兼容是利用新一代的同步基因的优势，这些同步基因在未来十年及以后提供了巨大的希望。 For example, our beam line facilities XPD and FIS will be stationed at Brookhaven National Laboratory?s National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II), which is a recently completed, $900 million facility, that produces X-rays over 10,000 times brighter than its predecessor NSLS, while providing improved spatial and energy resolution as well as a world-leading synchrotron-infrared (IR)辐射源。组合还支持高级光子源（APS）Argonne国家实验室，高级光源（ALS）Lawrence Berkeley国家实验室和亚利桑那州立大学的多ANVIL新闻项目的钻石砧（DAC）光束线。通过改进X射线光学和检测器的改进而增加的新的或升级的同步子将导致高压下测量的巨大进步。因此，在新的5年合作协议上跨越了即将到来的时期，提供了令人兴奋的机会，因为这些同步加速器设施将显着提高实验能力，并允许进行测试假设并解决有关深行星内部深处的尚未解决的问题所需的新实验。由组合支持的基础架构和设施开发同时创造了新一代的工具和技术，以实现和衡量实验室深层内部环境。
