Sediment and Pore Fluid Studies in the Taiwan Subduction/Collision Zone

9618661本奖项将协助收集及分析台湾南部俯冲与碰撞过渡带的活塞芯，以评估活动性弧陆碰撞早期发展阶段的沉积学过程及流体平流的证据。作为一艘台湾考察船上联合项目的一部分，野外工作将完成。台湾科学家正在船上检查边缘沉积物的结构和物理性质。该项目的意义在于在现代的弧-陆碰撞中约束活动的沉积过程和流体排出的价值，以提供一种模式，用于研究现在被纳入大陆记录的这种环境。此外，这项工作将提供区域地质背景，在此背景下评估已提出的台湾边缘深海钻探结果。

9618661 Gieskes This award will support collection and analysis of piston cores from the transition zone between subduction and collision south of Taiwan, in order to evaluate sedimentologic processes and evidence of fluid advection during the early developmental stages of an active arc-continent collision. Field work will be completed as part of a joint project aboard a Taiwanese research vessel in which Taiwanese scientists are examining the texture and physical properties of margin sediments. The significance of this project lies in the value of constraining active sedimentary processes and fluid expulsion in modern, arc- continent collision to provide a model for use in examining such settings now incorporated into the continental record. additionally, this work will provided the regional geologic context within which to evaluate the results from deep sea drilling which has been proposed for the Taiwanese margin.
