Origin of the Southeast Missouri Lead District: Paleohydrology and Ore-Forming Reactions

这项研究将涉及密苏里州东南部密西西比河谷型矿床流体循环和成矿反应的理论建模。优势主要集中在pi的综合专业知识和他们对流体流动模型的应用，以充分研究矿床。这些模型将尝试整合来自水文、构造、盆地结构、流动和矿化时间以及硫化物矿物沉淀机制的约束。最后，将评价这些因素对成矿的相对作用。长期的好处将包括整合各种信息的技术的改进，以更实际地模拟矿石形成过程。

This study will involve theoretical modelling of fluid circulation and ore-forming reactions in the MIssissippi Valley type deposits of southeast Missouri. The strengths primarily focus on combined expertise of the PIs and their application of fluid-flow models to well studied mineral deposits. The models will attempt to integrate constraints from hydrology, tectonics, basin structure, timing of flow and mineralization, and mechanisms for sulfide mineral precipitation. Ultimately, the relative role of these factors on ore formation will be assessed. The long-term benefits will include improvements in techniques for integrating diverse information to more realistically model ore formation processes.
