This project aims to evaluate a new theory that suggests mountain belts are repeatedly built and then destroyed, taking advantage of the youthful and classic natural laboratory offered by the European Alps. We will use geochronology, structural geology and metamorphic petrology to track individual rocks through time and space, and compare the results with predictions made by computer simulations. The initiation of these episodes of immense destruction in mountain belts occurs at the same time as the creation of deep Earth resources. This project will, as its main outcome, provide the foundation for future theoretical understanding of these remarkable coincidences.

该项目旨在评估一种新的理论，该理论认为山带是反复建造然后破坏的，利用了欧洲阿尔卑斯山提供的年轻而经典的自然实验室。我们将使用地质年代学、构造地质学和变质岩石学来追踪单个岩石的时间和空间，并将结果与计算机模拟的预测结果进行比较。在山带中这些巨大破坏事件的开始与地球深部资源的创造同时发生。该项目将作为其主要成果，为未来对这些显著巧合的理论理解提供基础。
