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

首席研究员将研究细粒岩浆 卡迪拉克山（Mount Cadillac）深成岩中的包裹体 沙漠岛，缅因州）和图马卡科里山脉（南部 Arizona）。她将尝试记录 污染机制和污染的影响， 这些夹杂物的主机材料，并评估 产生原始液体的岩浆过程。的 研究结果将帮助地质学家更好地了解 影响地球岩石圈岩浆的演化。

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.
