The Early Stages of Granite Evolution: Extraction and Transport Through Ductile Crust

这项研究旨在了解大陆如何通过岩石融化的几个阶段发展。岩石在大陆深处融化，形成花岗岩岩浆，上升，将重要的金属，如金，铜和锡，以及产热元素，如铀，钍和钾输送到地壳上层。这项研究计划旨在了解花岗岩熔体如何形成和上升，运输这些重要元素，这些元素不仅控制着我们的财富，还控制着我们生活的大陆的稳定性。

This research is aimed at understanding how the continents develop through several stages of rock melting. Rock melts deep in the continents to form granite magmas which rise, transporting to the upper crust important metals, such as gold, copper and tin, and heat producing elements such as uranium, thorium and potassium. This research proposal seeks to understand how granite melts form and rise transporting these all important elements, which control not only our wealth but also the stability of the continents we live in.
