Isotopic and Chemical Studies of Mafic Rocks from India

说明：该奖项支持斯克里普斯海洋研究所的道格拉斯·麦克杜格尔博士与印度海得拉巴国家地球物理研究所的K. Gopalan博士的合作研究。工作内容包括印度德干玄武岩的地球化学和岩石成因研究。实地研究将在三个地区进行，即印度西部的古吉拉特邦、拉贾斯坦邦和印度东部。这些区域中的每一个都包含不同的地质结构，并且与地幔地球化学的一般领域具有独特的相关性。样本将被收集并运往美国，在那里，实验室工作将在斯克里普斯完成。范围:Drs。麦克杜格尔和戈帕兰在这一研究领域合作了几年，发表了重要的成果，并与许多美国研究生合作，为他们的博士研究从印度实地获取样本和数据。协作的努力是富有成效的，结果是高质量的。麦克杜格尔博士目前由两项拨款资助：INT8613485，用于印度的实地费用；和EAR8618554用于美国的研究费用。该行动由INT8722661资助给国家地球物理研究所，INT8813233资助给Scripps研究所。

Description: This award supports cooperative research by Dr. Douglas Macdougall of Scripps Institute of Oceanagraphy with Dr. K. Gopalan of the National Geophysical Research Institute, in Hyderabad, India. The work covers geo- chemical and petrogenetic research in the Deccan basalts of India. The field research is to be carried in three areas, in Gujarat in western India, in the Rajasthan and in eastern India. Each of these areas contains a different geologic structure and possesses a unique relevance to the general field of mantle geochemistry. Samples will be collected and shipped to the U.S. where laboratory work will be done at Scripps. Scope: Drs. Macdougall and Gopalan have collaborated in this research area for several years with significant published results and with a number of U.S. graduate students obtaining samples and data, for their Ph.D. research, from the field in India. The collaborative effort is productive and the results of high quality. Dr. Macdougall is currently funded under two grants: INT8613485 for field expenses in India; and EAR8618554 for research costs in the U.S. This action is being funded under INT8722661 to National Geophysical Research Institute and INT8813233 to Scripps Institute.
