An apparatus has been designed and fabricated to measure the thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of relatively large geological samples in the pressure range to 0.2 GPa and the temperature range from 300--750 K. Data on a domal salt from Avery Island Mine in Southern Louisiana are presented as examples of the results obtainable from the apparatus.
