Fracture-Fluid Evolution in the Deep Portions of Submarine Hydrothermal Systems

这个项目将进行空间，热，和组成 大洋深成流体包裹体分析 钻探项目核心735B和一套变质和扩张 从亚特兰蒂斯二号断裂带回收的样本 在这些实验中， 韧性变形和热液蚀变岩石将用于 建立了一个高海拔地区地下流体演化的模型， 海底热液系统的温度根区 传播缓慢的环境。

This project will conduct spatial, thermal, and compositional analyses of fluid inclusions in plutonic samples from Ocean Drilling Project core 735B and a suite of metaplutonic and diabase samples recovered from the Atlantis II fracture zone. Microthermometric results of fracture-bound fluids in these ductily-deformed and hydrothermally altered rocks will be used to develop a model for fracture-fluid evolution in the high- temperature root zones of submarine hydrothermal systems associated with slow spreading environments.
