项目摘要

Gem deposits are fascinating because the geological conditions needed to produce them are exceptional. I study many types of gem deposits, but pegmatites are particularly interesting because they also produce strategic elements (such as lithium and tantalum). I also study beryl and its gem varietals (emerald and red gem beryl) and borosilicate minerals because they can tell us much about how pegmatites form. Over the past six years my students and I have investigated many gem occurrences in Canada. On Baffin Island we studied sapphire deposits and discovered that they formed by three sequential metamorphic reactions and that the best place to look for new occurrences is close to a thrust fault. Elsewhere in Nunavut (NU), we initiated research on the Anuri emerald occurrence. In British Columbia (BC) we studied a ruby and pink sapphire occurrence and learned that the gems formed at peak metamorphism from muscovite in silicate layers in marble. In the Northwest Territories (NWT) we confirmed that the Lened emerald occurrence is related to magmatic processes and that there is potential for the more valuable Colombian-type emerald deposits. Also in the NWT we have begun studying the origin of gem-tourmaline-bearing pegmatite dikes associated with the O'Grady batholith. In Utah we are studying the origin of red gem beryl; this inspired a comprehensive study of the crystal chemistry of beryl. A study of borosilicate minerals is also in progress. My long-term vision is to help develop a coloured gem industry in Canada; my research program advances this vision by determining how these deposits form and therefore how to make new discoveries. My short-term objectives are to: (1)Develop deposit models from the known occurrences. (2)Develop and test exploration criteria for each type of gem deposit. (3)Determine the origin of the water and the nature of the relationship between water molecules and sodium in beryl and to define the stability limits of beryl. (4)Use boron isotopes in borosilicate minerals to expand our understanding of Earth processes. Define new species and controls on the symmetry and stability of the sakhaite-harkerite series. Proof that a locality has a coloured gem resource would be transformative for communities. Advantages of coloured gem mining are that the industry can be developed on many scales, from the individual who collects rough to large-scale mining, and that it has less environmental impact than other mining. In addition, international recognition of such a resource in northern Canada would strengthen Canadian sovereignty. I will train a diverse group of 10+ highly qualified personnel. I will be conscious of using equitable and inclusive recruitment and mentoring practices through methods such as unconscious bias training and mentoring programs for underrepresented groups. My students learn valuable skills through both field and lab work and are expected to graduate having published at least one scientific paper.
宝石矿藏之所以引人入胜,是因为生产它们所需的地质条件非常特殊。我研究许多类型的宝石矿床,但伟晶岩特别有趣,因为它们还生产战略元素(如锂和钽)。我还研究绿柱石及其宝石品种(绿宝石和红色宝石绿柱石)和硼硅酸盐矿物,因为它们可以告诉我们许多伟晶岩是如何形成的。在过去的六年里,我和我的学生们调查了加拿大的许多宝石事件。在巴芬岛,我们研究了蓝宝石矿床,发现它们是由三次连续的变质反应形成的,寻找新产状的最佳地点是靠近逆冲断层。在努纳武特(Nu)的其他地方,我们开始了对Anuri祖母绿产状的研究。在不列颠哥伦比亚省(BC),我们研究了红宝石和粉色蓝宝石的赋存状态,得知宝石是在大理岩中硅酸盐层中的白云母变质峰期形成的。在西北地区(NWT),我们确认透镜式祖母绿与岩浆作用有关,并有更有价值的哥伦比亚类型祖母绿矿床的潜力。另外,在西北地区,我们已经开始研究与O‘Grady岩基有关的含宝石电气石伟晶岩脉的成因。在犹他州,我们正在研究红色宝石绿柱石的起源;这引发了对绿柱石晶体化学的全面研究。对硼硅酸盐矿物的研究也在进行中。我的长期愿景是帮助加拿大发展有色宝石行业;我的研究计划通过确定这些矿床是如何形成的,从而推动这一愿景,从而做出新的发现。我的短期目标是:(1)从已知的事件中开发出矿床模型。(2)制定和检验各类宝石矿床的勘查标准。(3)确定绿柱石中水的来源和水分子与钠之间关系的性质,确定绿柱石的稳定极限。(4)利用硼硅酸盐矿物中的硼同位素扩大我们对地球过程的理解。定义了新的物种和控制的对称性和稳定性的sakhaite-harkerite系列。一个地方拥有有色宝石资源的证据将对社区产生变革。有色宝石开采的优势在于,该行业可以在许多规模上发展,从收集粗矿石的个人到大规模开采,而且与其他采矿相比,它对环境的影响较小。此外,国际社会承认加拿大北部的这种资源将加强加拿大的主权。我将培养一支由10多名高素质人员组成的多元化团队。我将有意识地使用公平和包容性的招聘和指导做法,通过无意识的偏见培训和指导计划等方法,为代表性不足的群体提供指导。我的学生通过实地和实验室工作学习到宝贵的技能,并有望在毕业时至少发表一篇科学论文。
