Origin Voluminous Hydrous SiO2 Rhyolites

项目摘要

High-silica rhyolite is the most differentiated silicate magma type on Earth and makes up some of the largest explosive eruptions (100's-1000's cubic km), including those at Yellowstone (WY) and Long Valley (CA) calderas in the last 1 Myr. Understanding the origin and transport of high-SiO2 rhyolites and what triggers their eruption in large volumes, often explosively, is of considerable interest because their formation must fundamentally re-constitute and differentiate continental crust Additionally, the western U.S. may be the site of future "supervolcano" eruptions, and so understanding the process of the eruptive process can yield additional insight into the hazard associated with these eruptions. Although the chances of a major catastrophic eruption in the western U.S. in the immediate future are low, one of the primary goals of this proposal is to test whether the timescales between rhyolite melt formation and rapid transport to the surface (via dikes) may be on the order of weeks and months (and thus human time scales) and not 10's to 100's of thousands of years.The overall purpose of this study is to combine dynamic, hydrous partial melting experiments with 1D and 2D high-resolution numerical models to examine how the influx of volatile-bearing basalt into continental crust drives the formation, segregation and eruption of high-SiO2 rhyolitic melts. The high-resolution, numerical models will focus on processes that occur over short spatial (meter) and temporal (days/years) scales, in addition to those that operate over crustal distances (kms) and longer times (Myrs). There are four important phenomena that are captured by high-resolution models, including: (1) The transfer of exsolved H2O-rich fluid from crystallizing basaltic sills (10-100 m) to adjacent wall rock, (2) The transient (100's of years) heating of the wall rock adjacent to newly emplaced basaltic sills, which leads to significant partial melting of surrounding crust (both granitoid and previously solidified mafic sills) under H2O-present conditions (where fluid-saturated conditions prevail at the solidus, but fluid-absent conditions develop at melt fractions over 20%). (3) The interaction of partial melts of granitoid and previously solidified mafic sills. (4) The role of pre-existing aplite dikes in granitoid wall rock in facilitating the rapid development of melt-filled dikes, and thus rapid transport out of the wall-rock source region. These short-term processes impact crustal-scale thermal profiles because of the rapid transfer of heat via advection (i.e., dikes). They also lead to significant and irreversible compositional re-working of the upper crust due to the transport of these partial melts from both granitoid and previously solidified mafic sills; thus the re-worked upper crust will carry the geochemical signature of this mixed heritage. Dynamic, hydrous experiments will be performed that simulate the release of H2O fluid from the basaltic sills into adjacent wall rock, and its role in driving partial melting. The new numerical models and software codes will be made widely available to facilitate scientific reproducibility and comprehension. Throughout the course of this work, several undergraduate and graduate students will be supported.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

高硅流纹岩是地球上差异最大的硅酸盐岩浆类型，构成了一些最大的爆炸性喷发（100-1000 立方公里），包括过去 1 密尔的黄石 (WY) 和长谷 (CA) 破火山口的喷发。了解高 SiO2 流纹岩的起源和运输以及触发其大量喷发（通常是爆炸性喷发）的原因具有相当大的意义，因为它们的形成必须从根本上重新构成和区分大陆地壳。此外，美国西部可能是未来“超级火山”喷发的地点，因此了解喷发过程的过程可以进一步了解与这些喷发相关的危险。尽管美国西部近期发生重大灾难性喷发的可能性很低，但该提案的主要目标之一是测试流纹岩熔融形成和快速输送到地表（通过岩脉）之间的时间尺度是否可能为数周和数月（以及人类的时间尺度），而不是数十到数百年的数千年。这项研究的总体目的是结合动态、含水部分熔融实验利用一维和二维高分辨率数值模型来研究含挥发分的玄武岩流入大陆地壳如何驱动高 SiO2 流纹岩熔体的形成、分离和喷发。高分辨率数值模型将重点关注在短空间（米）和时间（天/年）尺度上发生的过程，以及在地壳距离（公里）和较长时间（迈尔斯）范围内运行的过程。高分辨率模型捕捉到了四种重要现象，包括：(1) 富含 H2O 的出溶流体从结晶玄武岩基岩 (10-100 m) 转移到邻近的围岩，(2) 新就位的玄武岩基岩附近的围岩瞬时（数百年）加热，导致周围地壳（花岗岩类和先前凝固的地壳）显着部分熔化。镁铁质基岩）在 H2O 存在条件下（固相线处普遍存在流体饱和条件，但熔体分数超过 20% 时出现无流体条件）。 (3) 花岗岩体的部分熔融物与先前凝固的镁铁质基岩的相互作用。 (4) 花岗岩围岩中已存在的细粒岩脉在促进熔体充填岩脉快速发育、快速运出围岩源区方面的作用。由于热量通过平流（即岩脉）快速传递，这些短期过程会影响地壳尺度的热剖面。由于这些部分熔体从花岗岩和先前凝固的镁铁质基岩中迁移出来，它们还导致上地壳发生显着且不可逆的成分再加工；因此，经过改造的上地壳将带有这种混合遗产的地球化学特征。将进行动态含水实验，模拟 H2O 流体从玄武岩基岩释放到邻近围岩中，及其在驱动部分熔融中的作用。新的数值模型和软件代码将被广泛使用，以促进科学的再现性和理解。在整个这项工作的过程中，数名本科生和研究生将得到支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
