Quantitative Evaluation of Fluid Flow and Mass/Energy Transport During Contact Metamorphism: Continuing Studies of the Alta Stock Thermal Aureole Alta, Utah

主要研究人员将研究液体在 通过继续研究接触变质环境 阿尔塔斯托克光环，使用综合岩石学，同位素， 和数值模拟技术。他们将试图回答 关于流动和物质输运过程的问题， 变质含水层的物理/化学性质， 对流动模式和流体-岩石相互作用程度的影响。 这项调查将是对我们的重要贡献。 了解周围岩石的物理和化学动力学 一个正在冷却的深圳湾

The principal investigators will study the role of fluids in contact metamorphic environments by continuing their investigation of the Alta stock aureole, using integrated petrologic, isotopic, and numerical modeling techniques. They will attempt to answer questions concerning the processes of flow and mass transport, the physical/chemical properties of the metamorphic aquifer, and the effects on patterns of flow and extent of fluid-rock interaction. This investigation will be an important contribution to our understanding of the physical and chemical dynamics of rocks around a cooling pluton.
