ABSTRACT: For more than a half
century, my colleagues and I in the Stony Brook High Pressure Laboratory have
profited from collaborations with French scientists in their laboratories in
Orsay, Paris, Toulouse, Lille, Lyon, Strasbourg and Rennes. These interactions have included postdoctoral appointments of
French colleagues in our laboratory as well as two année sabbatique by me; in
1983-84, in the Laboratoire de Géophysique et Géodynamique Interne at
the Université Paris XI in Orsay and in 2020-2003 in the Laboratoire des
Méchanismes et Transfert en Géologie at the Université Paul Sabatier in
Toulouse. The objective of this report is to relate this history and to
illustrate the scientific advances which resulted from these collaborations.
