Her contribution to the EGU2024 focuses on a further detailed experimental investigation of the mechanisms behind enhanced H 2 O vesicle formation in the hybrid zone of bimodal melts. In this process, she synthesized a glass of the hybrid melt composition on which extensive solubility experiments have been conducted in an internally heated argon pressure vessel.
