REU: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Metamorphic Evolution of the Nanga Parbat Massif: Metamorphism, Fluid Flow, and Granite Genesis

人们重新关注流体在生物学中的重要性， 各种地壳作用，如花岗岩成因、变质作用 以及热量和质量的传输。 这个项目将研究 花岗岩岩浆作用、变质作用和流体流动之间的联系， 非常年轻的南迦帕尔巴特-哈拉莫什地块在巴基斯坦喜马拉雅山。 这一地区记录了快速的隆起和剥蚀， 与花岗岩地层和可能的地形 驱动流体缺陷。 这一假设将由一个综合的 岩石学、稳定同位素、地质年代学和构造研究 Nanga Parbat-Haramosh地区。 使用这些获得的数据 技术预计将提供约束的作用， 地表驱动流体在花岗岩成因中的作用， 喜马拉雅山西北部和挤压山脉的变质岩 腰带一般。

There is renewed interest in the importance of fluids in a variety of crustal processes such as granite genesis, metamorphism and heat and mass transport. This project will study relationships between granite magmatism, metamorphism and fluid flow using the very young Nanga Parbat-Haramosh Massif in the Pakistan Himalaya. This area records rapid uplift and denudation that appears near coevil with both granite formation and possible topographically driven fluid flaw. This hypothesis will be tested by an integrated petrologic, stable-isotopic, geochronologic and structural study of the Nanga Parbat-Haramosh area. Data obtained using these techniques are expected to provide constraints on the role of surface-driven fluids in the petrogenesis of granites and metamorphic rocks in the NW Himalaya and in compressional mountain belts in general.
