Earth Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Award

该研究员将对北美东部格伦维尔省的主要构造不连续进行综合的构造、岩石学和地质年代学研究。将研究造山岩芯，以破译韧性组构的渐进发展，特别是关于斑岩生长、剪切带的运动学演化以及最深层次断裂带的发展。将利用Sa(Sm)和Nd(Nd)的同位素分析进行放射性地质年代学。这位研究员将在密歇根大学度过他的研究员任期。

The Fellow will make an integrated structural, petrologic, and geochronologic study of major structural discontinuities in the Grenville Province of eastern North America. Orogenic cores will be examined to decipher progressive development of ductile fabrics especially with reference to porphyroblast growth, the kinematic evolution of shear zones, and the development of fault zones at their deepest levels. Use will be made of isotopic analysis of Sa (samarium) and Nd (neodymium) for radiometric geochronology. The Fellow will spend his fellowship tenure at the University of Michigan.
