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).

该研究员将研究内华达州东洪堡山脉北部的构造演化，综合详细的野外、构造、热年代学和温压研究的结果，以约束可能是大盆地中最深的岩石的构造史。通过使用苏黎世的扫描电子显微镜、电子探针和X射线设备，将宏观结构、微观结构、岩石学和晶体组构数据与德国东部的萨克森麻粒岩地形进行比较和对比，这位研究员选择在那里的地质学研究所工作。
