POWRE: Re-Os Systematics and Geochronology in Continental Sedimentary Rocks: A Pilot Study in the Morrison Formation

9973359 Hannah该POWRE赠款将允许PI当前职业重点的两个重大变化：（1）从管理和推广到研究，以及（2）从专注于火成岩过程和矿床到沉积环境。 在她获得终身职位后立即开始的近十年的行政职务，对研究生产力造成了损害。 她与冬青斯坦和约翰摩根合作，将铼-锇系统学应用于火成岩岩石学和矿石成因问题，这是她的主要支持和连续性来源。 在接下来的两年里，她的服务和行政承诺将下降。 这项拟议中的研究将有助于她利用一个很好的资源融合-实验室设施，科学专业知识和现场合作者-启动一个有前途的新的研究路线。 此外，该项目将让她利用她在高温放射性同位素系统学方面的经验和地球化学知识，在沉积环境中的地质年代学和元素迁移方面开辟新的领域。

9973359HannahThis POWRE grant will permit two significant changes in the PI's current career focus: (1) from administration and outreach to research, and (2) from a focus on igneous processes and ore deposits to sedimentary environments. Almost ten years in administrative positions, beginning immediately after she received tenure, have taken their toll on research productivity. Collaborations with Holly Stein and John Morgan on applications of Re-Os systematics to problems in igneous petrology and ore genesis have been her principal source of support and continuity. Over the next two years, her service and administrative commitments will decline. This proposed research would help her take advantage of an excellent convergence of resources - laboratory facilities, scientific expertise, and field collaborators - to initiate a promising new line of research. Furthermore, the project will let her use her experience in high-temperature radiogenic isotope systematics and knowledge of geochemistry to open new arenas in geochronology and element transport in sedimentary environments.
