Faculty Awards for Women

PI在一汽奖励下提出了两个主要的研究和学习领域。第一个是研究板块构造中驱动板块的因素。驱动板所受力的模型可以对照实际应力测量进行测试，并为模型验证提供必要的判别。第二个研究领域是热点的起源、性质和用途，以及它们与地幔对流的关系。这项工作将涉及对地幔过程所需的阶段模型和所产生的条件进行综合地球物理/地球化学调查。

The PI proposes two main areas of research and study under the FAW award. The first is the study of what drives plates in plate tectonics. Models of the forces that drive plates can be tested against actual stress measurements and provide the necessary discrimination for model verification. The second area of study is the origin, nature and utility of hotspots and their relation to mantle convection. The work will involve an integrated geophysical/geochemical investigation of phase models and resultant conditions required by mantle processes.
