From Synchrotron Characterisation of Single Fluid Inclusions to Archaean Geodynamics: An Integrated Study of Fluid-Rock Interaction in the Primitive Crust.

在原始地球，各种各样的现象，包括生物活动的开始和矿床的形成，都与矿化流体通过地壳的动员有关。在皮尔巴拉（WA）的太古代克拉通中，我们已经在其构造框架内确定了一个地壳规模的管道系统，该管道系统引导了大量的矿化热液溶液。我们的目标是通过结合构造地质学、变质岩石学、地质年代学、地球化学以及使用同步加速器和其他x射线源对单流体包裹体进行分析，了解与太古宙地壳地球动力学相关的管道系统的发展。

In the primitive Earth, a wide range of phenomena including the initiation of biological activity and the formation of ore deposits were related to the mobilisation of mineralised fluids through the crust. In the Archaean craton of the Pilbara (WA), we have identified, within its tectonic framework, a crustal-scale plumbing system that channelled large volumes of mineralised hydrothermal solutions. Our objective is to understand the development of this plumbing system in relation to Archaean crustal geodynamics using a combination of structural geology, metamorphic petrology, geochronology, geochemistry, and the analysis of single-fluid inclusion using synchrotron and other X-ray sources.
