项目摘要
About 60 million years ago Southwestern North America was a mountain belt with the length of the Himalayas and height of the Andes. These mountains collapsed under their own load starting about 30 million years ago, ending in the classic Basin and Range province that exists in the region today. The geological history of this collapsing mountain belt is also connected with the formation of deposits of minerals critically necessary for the security and maintenance of the economic well-being of the United States. The research team will test the hypothesis that fluids flowing through the crust were key to the collapse through the dating of fluorspar deposits that are geographically associated. These deposits themselves are a critical mineral resource. The research will use innovative dating methods to estimate the time of formation of the fluorite and associated minerals and compare this with the time of collapse of the highlands. The timing for the emplacement of these deposits will provide key information for proposed numerical simulations of the processes. Previous geophysical studies have provided three-dimensional imaging of the Earth’s interior for the region that will also be used to inform and test the numerical simulations, and these geophysical studies will be updated to better aid the simulations. The computer simulations will also contribute to a better understanding of the sources and magnitudes of tectonic forces responsible for earthquakes in the region, contributing to a better seismic hazard assessment. The project involves a collaborative plan to engage a diverse undergraduate and graduate student population with all components of laboratory, computational, and field work. Outstanding questions remain about the thermomechanical processes involved in the extensional collapse of the North American Southwest Cordillera, including the evolution of thermal input, crustal fluids and melts, topographic change, and plate tectonic and mantle flow evolution. Low upper mantle seismic wave speeds, together with active volcanism, are insufficient to predict rapid lithospheric strain rates in the southwestern US. Instead, in addition to the slow upper mantle wave speeds and volcanism, the lithosphere is characterized by abundant geothermal waters, enriched in F and 3He (indicating mantle fluid sources), which predicts rapid lithospheric strain. Belts of fluorspar deposits, which are associated with highly extended zones, are therefore likely to be precipitates of paleofluids emplaced during times of rapid transtensional crustal strain. The proposed work will test this hypothesis by using U/Pb and (U–Th)/He dating combined with a high-resolution time-dependent thermomechanical model. Furthermore, 40Ar/39Ar dating of associated sericite and alunite deposits will provide validation and confidence in the fluorite dating methods. Thermomechanical model outputs will be compared with geologic, thermochronologic, sedimentologic, and geophysical observations. The proposed thermochemical modeling will 1) quantify the causes and consequences of the topographic changes of the study area by modeling the collapse of the Nevada-plano and Arizona-plano; 2) identify the mechanisms for lithospheric weakening, including the role of thermal and magmatic evolution; 3) provide direct tectonic context for deformation and seismic hazards within the modern Basin and Range Province; and 4) integrate the latest seismic results from the Earthscope project by incorporating seismic, thermal, and compositional information of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system. Metamorphic core complex formation is hypothesized to be linked to collapse of highlands, but to date no 3-D models have directly addressed the effects of body forces set up by realistic topography. Methods developed for this proposal are poised to address the physics of the development of the core complexes as well as the structural evolution of the Basin and Range in the context of the inferred timing of rheological weakening informed by fluorspar dating. The novel approach to dating fluorspar, together with the integrated thermomechanical modeling plan, can be applied to other regions of the world where fluorspar deposits are associated with extensional zones. The proposed work involves a collaborative plan to integrate a diverse undergraduate and graduate student population with all components of laboratory, computational, and field work. The collaboration involves colleagues and students from Suffolk Community College, Kingsborough Community College, SUNY Oswego, Columbia University, and Stony Brook University. The integrated work will engage under-represented minority undergraduate students and will train the next generation of geoscientists in an exciting interdisciplinary effort. Students will be engaged every summer in training seminars, and will be involved in laboratory work, computational geodynamic modeling using Python and Jupyter Notebooks, and field preparation, training, and field work. Outreach efforts will culminate in short courses at GSA and AGU on communicating science to a broader audience. This collaborative work explores the cutting-edge linkage between critical mineral formation and the 3-D evolution of the dynamics of Southwest Cordillera.This project is jointly funded by the Frontier Research in Earth Systems Program and the Division of Earth Sciences to support projects that increase research capabilities, capacity and infrastructure at a wide variety of institution types, as outlined in the GEO EMBRACE DCL.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.
大约6000万年前,北美西南部是一个山脉带,其长度与喜马拉雅山脉相当,高度与安第斯山脉相当。这些山脉在大约3000万年前开始在自己的负荷下坍塌,最终形成了该地区今天存在的经典盆地和山脉省。这个崩塌的山脉带的地质历史也与矿藏的形成有关,这些矿藏对美国的安全和经济福祉的维持至关重要。 该研究小组将通过对地理上相关的氟石矿床进行测年来验证这一假设,即流经地壳的流体是坍塌的关键。这些矿床本身就是一种重要的矿产资源。该研究将使用创新的测年方法来估计萤石和伴生矿物的形成时间,并将其与高地坍塌的时间进行比较。这些矿床的就位时间将为拟议的过程数值模拟提供关键信息。以前的地球物理研究为该地区提供了地球内部的三维成像,也将用于为数值模拟提供信息和测试,这些地球物理研究将得到更新,以更好地帮助模拟。计算机模拟还将有助于更好地了解该地区地震的构造力来源和强度,从而有助于更好地进行地震危险评估。该项目涉及一个合作计划,以吸引不同的本科生和研究生人口与实验室,计算和实地工作的所有组成部分。关于北美西南科迪勒拉伸展塌陷中的热机械过程,包括热输入的演化、地壳流体和熔体、地形变化、板块构造和地幔流演化,仍然存在一些悬而未决的问题。 低上地幔地震波速度,以及活火山活动,是不足以预测快速的岩石圈应变率在美国西南部。相反,除了缓慢的上地幔波速度和火山活动,岩石圈的特点是丰富的地热沃茨,富含F和3 He(指示地幔流体来源),这预示着快速的岩石圈应变。因此,与高度延伸的区域有关的氟石矿床带很可能是在地壳快速张扭应变期间侵位的古流体沉淀物。拟议的工作将测试这一假设,通过使用U/Pb和(U-Th)/He测年结合高分辨率的时间相关的热机械模型。此外,伴生绢云母和明矾石矿床的40 Ar/39 Ar测年将为萤石测年方法提供验证和信心。热机械模型输出将与地质、热年代学、沉积学和地球物理观测结果进行比较。建议的热化学模拟将1)通过模拟内华达-普莱诺和亚利桑那-普莱诺的崩塌来量化研究区地形变化的原因和后果; 2)识别岩石圈弱化的机制,包括热演化和岩浆演化的作用; 3)为现代盆岭省内的变形和地震灾害提供直接的构造背景;(4)通过整合岩石圈-软流圈系统的地震、热和成分信息,整合Earthscope项目的最新地震结果。变质核杂岩的形成被假设为与高地的崩塌有关,但迄今为止,还没有三维模型直接解决了由现实地形建立的体力的影响。为这一建议开发的方法准备解决的物理发展的核心复合体,以及盆地和山脉的结构演化的背景下,推断的时间流变弱化告知氟石测年。新的方法来定年氟石,连同综合热机械模拟计划,可以应用到世界上其他地区的氟石矿床与伸展带。拟议的工作涉及一个合作计划,以整合不同的本科生和研究生人口与实验室,计算和实地工作的所有组成部分。这项合作涉及来自萨福克社区学院、金斯伯勒社区学院、纽约州立大学奥斯韦戈、哥伦比亚大学和斯托尼布鲁克大学的同事和学生。这项综合工作将吸引代表性不足的少数民族本科生,并将在令人兴奋的跨学科努力中培养下一代地球科学家。学生将每年夏天参加培训研讨会,并将参与实验室工作,使用Python和Python笔记本进行计算地球动力学建模,以及现场准备,培训和现场工作。外联工作将最终在GSA和AGU举办关于向更广泛的受众传播科学的短期课程。这项合作工作探讨了关键矿物形成和西南科迪勒拉动态的3-D演变之间的前沿联系。该项目由地球系统前沿研究计划和地球科学部共同资助,以支持各种机构类型的研究能力,能力和基础设施的项目,该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
