U.S.-China Cooperative Research: (A Petrotectonic Study of Intracratonal Blueschist and Eclogite Belts in Central China)

该奖项提供补充资金， 合作研究编号9204563， 中国高级变质作用科学家 中国中部的岩石。 其目标是 绘制了几个变质带，以研究 高压岩石的矿物学， 描绘矿物共生体， 几个关键岩石单元的地质年龄。 这项研究将有助于更好地了解 大陆地壳是如何 地函深处，后来被挖掘出来。

This award provides supplemental funding to EAR 9204563 for the collaborative study with Chinese scientists of high-grade metamorphic rocks in central China. The objectives are to map several metamorphic belts, to study the mineralogy of the high pressure rocks there, to delineate mineral parageneses and to establish geologic ages for several critical rock units. The study will lead to a better understanding of how continental crust was subjected to mantle depths, and later exhumed.
