Seafloor Magmatic Construction - A LA ICPMS Based Study

在这笔资金的资助下，PI将使用对喷出岩和侵入岩的矿物进行现场分析(从凯恩转换断层附近的大西洋中部山脊和亚特兰蒂斯II断裂带附近的西南印度洋山脊收集)，以了解岩浆建造过程。数据将使用激光烧蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱(LA ICPMS)收集。这项研究将在三个不同的空间尺度上提供对岩浆系统的洞察，并将检验关于地壳深部岩石的岩石成因、它们如何侵位、它们如何结晶以及在什么物理条件下的一些想法。

Under this funding, the PI will use in situ analyses of minerals from both extrusive and intrusive rocks (collected from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near the Kane Transform Fault and the Southwest Indian Ridge near the Atlantis II Fracture zone) to understand magmatic construction processes. Data will be collected using Laser-Ablation Inductively-Coupled-Plasma Mass- Spectrometry (LA ICPMS). This study will provide insight into the magmatic system over three different spatial scales and will test a number of ideas regarding the petrogenesis of deep crustal rocks, how they were emplaced, how they crystallized, and under what physical conditions.
