0125666SchiffmanThe project will focus on combined petrographic and geochemical analyses of altered rock core recovered from a deep drill hole near Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Some of this material comes from a 3 km-deep drill hole completed by the Hawaii Scientific Drilling Project (HSDP) in September, 1999. The reminder will come from new samples that will be recovered when the existing hole is deepened, beginning in early 2003. The primary objective of this project will be to develop and test models for rock alteration using an integrated analytical approach for studying the recovered core materials. Major questions to be addressed are: (1) What is the alteration history of the basaltic material which underlies Mauna Kea volcano, how has it been influenced by various types of alteration processes, and are these distinct from other forms of seafloor alteration? (2) How has this alteration affected the mineral composition and physical properties of these materials? (3) How significantly has alteration affected the chemical composition of the submarine portions of the Mauna Kea? and (4) What is the evidence regarding (proposed models invoking) deep circulation of ground waters within the interior of this volcano? Questions # 1 and 2 will be addressed through the systematic study of the alteration mineralogy. Question #3 and 4 will be addressed by detailed geochemical investigations of elemental and isotopic signatures associated with the conversion of basaltic minerals and glass to palagonitized glass, layer silicates, and zeolites. Trace element and isotopic analyses will provide the means of evaluating the exchange of basaltic, seawater, meteoric components during alteration. Stable isotopic analyses of alteration minerals should allow us to test a hydrologic model suggesting that meteoric fluids have circulated deep within the interior of Mauna Kea.

0125666 Schiffman该项目将侧重于从夏威夷大岛希洛附近的深钻孔中回收的蚀变岩芯的岩相学和地球化学分析。 其中一些材料来自于1999年9月由夏威夷科学钻探项目（HSDP）完成的一个3公里深的钻孔。 从2003年初开始，现有的洞穴加深时，将采集到新的样本。 该项目的主要目标是利用综合分析方法研究回收的岩心材料，开发和测试岩石蚀变模型。 要解决的主要问题是：（1）莫纳克亚火山下面的玄武岩物质的蚀变历史是什么，它是如何受到各种蚀变过程的影响，这些与其他形式的海底蚀变不同吗？ (2)这种蚀变是如何影响这些物质的矿物成分和物理性质的？ (3)蚀变对莫纳克亚山海底部分的化学成分有多大影响？（4）关于（提议的模型援引）这座火山内部地下沃茨深层循环的证据是什么？ 问题1和2将通过蚀变矿物学的系统研究来解决。 问题#3和4将通过与玄武岩矿物和玻璃转化为Palagonitized玻璃、层状硅酸盐和沸石相关的元素和同位素特征的详细地球化学调查来解决。 微量元素和同位素分析将提供评价蚀变过程中玄武岩、海水、大气成分交换的手段。 蚀变矿物的稳定同位素分析应该使我们能够测试一个水文模型，表明流星流体在莫纳克亚火山内部深处循环。
