Collaborative Research: Data Synthesis for Examination of Magmatic, Tectonic, and Hydrothermal Acitivity at the Endeavour Segment ISS

胡安·德富卡海岭是美国西北海岸外的大洋中脊扩张中心，奋进海岭段是对该海岭研究得最好的地点之一。 在过去的10年里，NSF资助的Ridge 2000计划对该地区进行了广泛的测绘和采样，其目标是大大提高我们对洋中脊岩浆，地震，热液和生物系统的理解，它们如何表现，以及它们如何联系在一起。 该资助项目的重点是纠正样本/特征位置的导航错误，并汇编来自NSF和非NSF资助的巡航和研究的数据，以创建高分辨率的地质和地球化学特征/属性综合地图。 这些不同数据集的并列将使人们能够对这些重要的火山系统如何运作进行全面、综合的思考，将使这一地区与环绕全球的大洋中脊系统的其他部分进行比较，并将阐明控制大洋中脊火山活动和热液喷发的过程。 这项工作的更广泛的影响包括支持研究生和本科生，博士后和PI，其性别在科学领域代表性不足。

One of the best studied sites on the Juan de Fuca Ridge, a mid-ocean ridge spreading center off the northwestern coast of the US, is the Endeavor Ridge Segment. This area has been extensively mapped and sampled over the last 10 years by the NSF-funded Ridge 2000 Program whose objective is to dramatically advance our understanding of mid-ocean ridge magmatic, seismic, hydrothermal, and biological systems, how they behave, and how they are linked together. The funded project focuses on correcting navigation errors in sample/feature locations and compiling data from NSF and non-NSF funded cruises and studies to create a high resolution, integrated map of geological and geochemical features/attributes. The juxtaposition of these disparate datasets will enable big-picture, integrated thinking about how these important volcanic systems operate, will allow comparison of this area with other parts of the globe-encircling mid-ocean ridge system, and will illuminate the processes that control volcanism and hydrothermal venting at mid-ocean ridges. Broader impacts of the work include support of graduate and undergraduate students, a postdoc, and a PI whose gender is under-represented in the sciences.
