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

该奖项将支持收集和分析台湾南部俯冲和碰撞过渡带的活塞岩心，以评估活跃弧-大陆碰撞早期发育阶段的沉积过程和流体平流证据。现场工作将作为一项联合项目的一部分，由一艘台湾科考船完成，台湾科学家将在船上检查边缘沉积物的质地和物理特性。这个项目的意义在于，它对现代弧-陆碰撞中的活动沉积过程和流体排出的约束价值，为研究现在已纳入大陆记录的此类背景提供了一个模型。此外，这项工作将提供区域地质背景，以评估台湾边缘提出的深海钻探结果。

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.
