Fluid Flow, Mass Transfer and their Relation to Cooling History of the Cuillin Complex, Isle of Skye, NW Scotland

将产生一套新的详细的稳定同位素、结构、石油化学和岩相学数据，以便尽可能定量地描述流体流动和传质/蚀变，以及它们与Culin杂岩冷却历史有关的时间。它现在越来越多地被Culin杂岩所接受，该杂岩由多个同心侵入体组成，由显著的时间间隔隔开。由此产生的复杂的热历史和最近的同位素研究(Farver和Giletti，1989；Ito等人，1986)表明发生了两个(或多个)流体流动阶段。对其他地方的大型侵入体的研究(例如，Bird等人，1986,1988)证明了流体通过裂缝流动导致深成岩热液蚀变的重要性。Forester和Taylor(1977)提出了Culin杂岩中广泛的、穿透性的流体流动方式，但Ito等人的结果。(1986)提出，裂缝可能在引导复合体内的流体流动方面起到了重要作用。Culin杂岩具有特殊的曝光性和大量积累的高质量数据，是澄清热液蚀变性质、流体流动、传质及其与冷却历史相关的时间之间关系的理想环境。

Will generate a new set of detailed stable isotopic, structural, petrochemical, and petrographic data in order to characterize as quantitatively as possible, the fluid flow and mass transfer/alteration, and their timing in relation to the cooling history of the Cuillin Complex. It is now increasingly accepted in the Cuillin Complex consists of multiple concentric intrusions separated by significant time gaps. The resulting complex thermal history and recent isotopic studies (Farver and Giletti, 1989; Ito et al., 1986) suggest the occurrence of two (or more) phases of fluid flow. Studies of large intrusions elsewhere (e.g., Bird et al., 1986, 1988) have documented the importance of fluid flow through fractures leading to hydrothermal alteration of the plutons. Forester and Taylor (1977) suggested an extensive, penetrative style of fluid flow in the Cuillin Complex, but the results of Ito et al. (1986) suggest that fractures may have been important in channeling the fluid flow within the complex. The Cuillin Complex, with its exceptional exposure and a significant body of accumulated high quality data, is an ideal setting in which to clarify the relationships among the nature of hydrothermal alteration, fluid flow, mass transfer, and their timing in relation to the cooling history.
