Petrogenesis of Archaean Anorthosites from West Greenland

首席研究员将利用各种地球化学技术，对西格陵兰岛高品位片麻岩复合体的太古代斜长岩进行实地和实验室联合研究。这项工作将对斜长岩的岩浆分异性质有新的认识，并对其母岩浆组成有新的限制。这项工作还将涉及与地球早期地壳演化有关的一般问题。

The principal investigator will carry out a combined field and laboratory study of Archaean anorthosites from the high-grade gneiss complex of West Greenland, utilizing a variety of geochemical techniques. The work will result in new insights into the nature of magmatic differentiation of anorthosite bodies and place new constraints on their parent magma compositions. The work will also bear on general problems related to the early crustal evolution of the Earth.
