Earth Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Award

该研究员将通过整合详细的野外、构造、热年代学和热气压学研究结果，研究内华达州东洪堡山脉北部的构造演化，以限制大盆地中可能最深的岩石的构造历史。利用苏黎世的扫描电子显微镜、电子显微探针和x射线设备，将宏观结构、微观结构、岩石学和晶体学结构数据与德国东部萨克森麻粒岩地形进行比较和对比。该研究员选择在德国联邦理工学院（ETH）地质研究所度过他的奖学金。

The Fellow will study the tectonic evolution of the northern East Humboldt Range, Nevada, by integrating the results of detailed field, structural, thermochronologic, and thermobarometric studies to constrain the tectonic history of what are probably the deepest- seated rocks in the Great Basin. Comparisons and contrasts will be made of the macrostructural, micro-structural, petrological, and crystallographic fabric data with the Saxony granulite terrain in eastern Germany, by using scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe, and x-ray facilities in Zurich, where the Fellow has chosen to spend his fellowship at the Geologisches Institut of the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule (ETH).
