Faculty Awards for Women

PI提出了两个主要领域的研究和研究的一汽奖。首先是研究板块构造学中板块的驱动因素。驱动板的力的模型可以根据实际应力测量进行测试，并为模型验证提供必要的区分。研究的第二个领域是热点的起源、性质和效用及其与地幔对流的关系。这项工作将包括对相模型和地幔过程所需的合成条件进行综合地球物理/地球化学调查。

The PI proposes two main areas of research and study under the FAW award. The first is the study of what drives plates in plate tectonics. Models of the forces that drive plates can be tested against actual stress measurements and provide the necessary discrimination for model verification. The second area of study is the origin, nature and utility of hotspots and their relation to mantle convection. The work will involve an integrated geophysical/geochemical investigation of phase models and resultant conditions required by mantle processes.
