Magma Mingling in the Plutonic and Volcanic Settings: Mechanisms and Effects of Compositional Contamination of Hosts by Enclaves

首席研究员将研究卡迪拉克山（缅因州沙漠岛山）和图马科里山脉（亚利桑那州南部）深部岩石中的细粒岩浆包裹体。她将尝试记录各种污染机制和这些包裹体对宿主材料污染的影响，并评估产生原始液体的岩浆过程。这些结果将帮助地质学家更好地理解影响地球岩石圈岩浆演化的过程。

The principal investigator will study fine-grained magmatic inclusions in the plutonic rocks of Cadillac Mountain (Mount Desert Island, Maine) and the Tumacacori Mountains (southern Arizona). She will attempt to document the variety of contamination mechanisms and the effects of contamination of the host materials by these inclusions, and also to evaluate the magmatic processes which generated the original liquids. The results will help geologists better understand processes that affect the evolution of magmas in the Earth's lithosphere.
