The Systematics of B and Be in Subduction Zone Sediments

本项目将研究管理 海洋沉积物中的铍和B。 一旦这些元素的行为 它们有可能作为敏感的 岩浆生成过程中含水流体的示踪剂， 在研究岛弧岩浆的起源方面特别有用。 该项目将量化元素的出现及其 广泛的海洋孔隙水和沉积物中的同位素 沉积岩性，并进行实验， 样品在高压和高温下，以确定如何 这些元素在热液系统中起作用。

This project will study the processes governing the distribution of Be and B in marine sediments. Once the behavior of these elements is understood, they have the potential to serve as sensitive tracers of aqueous fluids in magma generation, and will be especially useful in studying the origin of island arc magmas. This project will quantify the occurrence of the elements and their isotopes in porewaters and sediments from a wide range of marine sediment lithologies and perform an experiment with labelled samples at high pressure and temperature, in order to determine how the elements behave in hydrothermal systems.
