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

首席调查员将研究卡迪拉克山脉(缅因州沙漠山)和图马科里山脉(亚利桑那州南部)深成岩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的污染的影响，并评估产生原始液体的岩浆过程。这一结果将有助于地质学家更好地了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.
