U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Study of Layered Mantle Peridotite, Horoman, Japan

该奖项将支持一个为期两年的美日合作科学项目，该项目由麻省理工学院地球、大气和行星科学系弗雷德里克·弗雷（Frederick Frey）教授和日本熊本大学地质系奥方正明（Masaaki Obata）教授共同完成。该项目是弗雷教授目前研究的一部分，旨在确定北海道霍罗曼（Horoman）榴岩连续地层中矿物和整块岩石的微量元素和各向同性系统，该研究源于1990年7月由美日合作科学计划（美日合作科学计划）赞助的一次会议。当时，弗雷教授和他在伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的同事们获得了霍罗曼橄榄岩的样本，并带回了他们的岩石学和地球化学分析实验室进行研究。在弗雷教授1992年访问日本期间，他将讨论他的实验室结果，并重新访问和研究重要的实地地点。

This award will support a two-year U.S.-Japan cooperative science project between Professor Frederick Frey, Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Professor Masaaki Obata, Department of Geology, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan. This project is part of Professor Frey's current research to determine the trace element and isotropic systematics of minerals and whole-rocks from contiguous layers in the Horoman peridotite, Hokkaido, which grew out of a conference in July 1990 sponsored by the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science Program. At that time, Professor Frey and his colleagues at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution obtained samples of the Horoman peridotite that they brought back to study in their petrologic and geochemical analytical laboratories. During Professor Frey's visit to Japan in 1992 he will discuss his laboratory results and revisit and study important field locations.
