PI/Institution: Klein, Emily (Duke)Title: Collaborative Proposal: Anatomy of an overlapping spreading center; geochemical and geological study of the EPR 9 03'N OSCAbstract: 0526120 (Klein/White/Von Damm/Sims/Perfit)Intellectual Merit. The objective of this project is to test the hypothesis that lava composition, hydrothermal vent field location, and eruption sites on the East Pacific Rise are linked to the behavior and location of melt in the upper mantle. The project builds upon recently acquired seismic data that details existing melt sills and estimates of melt volume beneath the crust in the area. The intent is to determine whether a relationship exists between exposed geological features and composition, and sill and melt volume and distribution. The PIs will perform more detailed mapping and sampling using magnetics, sonar, and Jason II. That data would then be compared to and integrated with existing seismic data at the SIO Visualization Center. Students would be involved in the cruise and data analyses.Broader Impacts. Graduate students and undergraduates will be involved in the project, both directly at sea, and through project work that develops as a consequence of the field program. The PIs' track record in involvement of students, and academic outputs from those efforts, indicates that this will be a very successful means of involving graduate and undergraduate students in marine geological research. Involvement in the SEAS program also provides an opportunity for middle school students to gain an understanding of marine geology. The impact on the scientific community, particularly if the underlying goals of co-registering surficial geology/geochemistry with geophysical evidence for source magma sills, will be most significant, and is well in line with R2K goals. This will be amplified by making use of the SIO Visualization facility's seismic tomography database.

PI/机构：Klein，Emily(Duke)标题：合作提案：重叠扩展中心的解剖；EPR 9 03‘N OSC的地球化学和地质学研究摘要：0526120(Klein/White/Von Damm/Sims/Perfit)智力价值。该项目的目的是验证以下假设：东太平洋隆起的熔岩成分、热液喷发场位置和喷发地点与上地幔熔体的行为和位置有关。该项目建立在最近获得的地震数据的基础上，这些数据详细说明了该地区现有的熔融岩床和对地壳下熔体体积的估计。其目的是确定暴露的地质特征和成分，以及基床和熔体的体积和分布之间是否存在关系。PI将使用磁学、声纳和Jason II进行更详细的测绘和采样。然后，这些数据将与SIO可视化中心的现有地震数据进行比较和整合。学生们将参与巡航和数据分析。研究生和本科生将直接在海上参与该项目，并通过作为实地计划的结果而开展的项目工作。PIS在学生参与方面的记录以及这些努力的学术成果表明，这将是让研究生和本科生参与海洋地质研究的一种非常成功的手段。参与海洋计划也为中学生提供了一个了解海洋地质的机会。这对科学界的影响将是最大的，特别是如果将地表地质学/地球化学与源岩岩浆岩的地球物理证据共同登记的基本目标，并且与R2K的目标非常一致的话。这将通过利用SIO可视化设施的地震层析数据库进行放大。
