蒙特雷组地球化学与早期成岩作用， 加州的壳牌海滩。 研究将研究地球化学和早期成岩作用， 位于加州壳牌海滩的蒙特利地层。 蒙特利 在新形成的地层中， 海平面上升时期的边缘盆地。 的 结果是富含有机质，钙质，磷酸盐，硅质 上升流地区的典型沉积物。 生成的岩石是 与原始沉积物有很大不同 这个目标 研究将是了解相关的成岩反应 和矿物副产品。 相同的反应和产物可以 存在于许多类型的沉积物中， 成岩变化 第二个目标是调查 古海洋学重要组成部分的变化，如 有机和有机C，PO4和SiO2，以及对过去的见解 海洋环流、生产力和气候。

Geochemistry and Early Diagenesis of the Monterey Formation, Shell Beach, California. Research will study the geochemistry and early diagenesis of the Monterey Formation at Shell Beach, California. The Monterey Formation was highly productive biologically in newly forming marginal basins during times of high eustatic sea level. The result is organically rich, calcareous, phosphatic, siliceous sediments typical of upwelling areas. The resultant rocks are very different from the original sediments. The goal of this study will be to understand the associated diagenetic reactions and the mineral by-products. The same reactions and products can occur in many types of sediments, conditioning them for later diagenetic change. A second goal is to investigate the secular variations of paleoceanographically important components such as organic and organic C, PO4, and SiO2, and the insights for past ocean circulation, productivity, and climate.
