Temporal Evolution of the Transantarctic Mountains and West Antarctica

该奖项支持一个项目，该项目利用裂变径迹分析来研究霍利克和泰尔山脉以及西南极埃尔斯沃斯山脉的横贯北极山脉的隆起和剥蚀历史。每个区域的采样策略将根据地貌、岩石类型、与构造特征的接近程度和露头的横向程度而有所不同。样品将被送回亚利桑那州立大学的裂变径迹实验室，并使用外部探测器方法进行处理以进行计数，以及进行径迹长度测量。

This award supports a project to utilize fission track analysis to address the uplift and denudation history of the Transantarctic Mountains in the Horlick and Thiel Mountains, and The Ellsworth Mountains in West Antarctica. Sampling strategy in each region will vary according to relief, rock type, proximity to tectonic features, and lateral extent of outcrop. Samples will be returned to the Fission Track Laboratory at Arizona State University and processed for counting using the external detector method, as well as track length measurements.
