AbstractThis award will support an integrated magnetic and thermochronometric study of gabbroic rocks from Hole U1309D (Atlantis Masif, on the western flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 30degreesN. The distribution (relative to igneous contacts) and temperature stability of the normal polarity magnetic overprints will give valuable constraints on the spatial scales of intrusions as well as the temperature of the country rock when these plutons were emplaced. Single zircon U-Pb dating will define the emplacement age of crust forming melts (including leucocratic dikes, oxide gabbro and some gabbro) found throughout the upper 1250m of IODP Hole U1309D. (U-Th)/He thermochronometry on zircon and apatite, with closure temperatures between ~200- 70degreesC, will delimit the low temperature cooling and denudation history of these rocks. The combined U/Pb chronometry and remanent magnetic data will be used to constrain the timing and rate of cooling/denudation resulting from low-angle normal faulting as proposed for Atlantis Massif. Remanence directions (particularly from core pieces reoriented using formation microscanner images) will be used to estimate the amount of tectonic rotation since the remanence was acquired and where may help constrain the range of possible rotation axes. The study involves international collaboration and the participation of graduate students.

该奖项将支持对位于北纬30度大西洋中脊西侧的Atlantis Masif的U1309 D孔辉长岩进行综合磁性和热年代学研究。正极性磁叠印的分布（相对于火成岩接触面）和温度稳定性将对侵入体的空间尺度以及这些侵入体侵位时围岩的温度提供有价值的约束。单颗粒锆石U-Pb测年将确定在IODP孔U1309 D上部1250米发现的地壳形成熔体（包括浅色岩脉、氧化物辉长岩和一些辉长岩）的侵位年龄。锆石和磷灰石的（U-Th）/He热年代学（闭合温度在~200- 70 ℃之间）将确定这些岩石的低温冷却和剥蚀历史。结合U/Pb测时和Repersonal磁数据将被用来约束的时间和速率的冷却/剥蚀所造成的低角度正常断层建议为亚特兰蒂斯地块。剩磁方向（特别是使用地层微扫描仪图像重新定向的岩心块）将用于估计自获得剩磁以来的构造旋转量，这可能有助于限制可能的旋转轴范围。这项研究涉及国际合作和研究生的参与。
