Crustal Genesis and Mineralization in the Eastern Dharwar Craton, South India, Award in U.S. and Indian Currencies

项目描述：本项目支持纽约州立大学石溪分校（SUNY）的Gilbert Hanson博士与新德里尼赫鲁大学（JNU）的V. Rajamani博士对印度南部东达尔瓦尔克拉通（EDC）的地球化学研究的合作。本研究的目的是建立一个假设，即东断带是由增生地体组成的，金矿化发生与增生地体有关。如果存在不同的地体，则旨在确定不同地体内岩石的历史，并确定它们的组合时间。野外工作将继续在Ramagiri片岩带进行地质研究，并开始沿区域构造走向对Kolar片岩带以北500公里的huti - maski片岩带进行研究。这项工作将包括由美国和印度科学家在该领域收集样本，然后由美国和印度的联合研究人员主要在纽约州立大学的实验室进行化学分析。一些化学分析将由Rajamani博士和他的学生在JNU完成。范围：该项目建立在两位科学家建立的良好工作关系的基础上。由于他们以前的工作，他们有几本联合出版物。这个项目很可能继续这种富有成效的科学合作。来自纽约州立大学石溪分校的美国研究生和博士后将参与实地工作，并有望获得国际研究工作的经验。

Description: This project supports collaboration by Dr. Gilbert Hanson of State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook with Dr. V. Rajamani of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi on geochemical study of the Eastern Dharwar Craton (EDC) in South India. The study is aimed at a hypothesis that the EDC is made up of accretionary terranes and that gold mineralization occurred associated with accretion of the terranes. If there are different terranes, it is intended to determine the histories of the rocks within the various terranes and determine the timing of their assemblage. The field work will continue geological studies in the Ramagiri Schist Belt, and begin studies of the Hutti-Maski Schist Belt 500 Km north of the Kolar Schist Belt along regional structural trend. The work will include collecting samples by the U.S. and Indian scientists in the field, to be followed by chemical analysis mainly at the SUNY laboratory by the U.S. and Indian co-investigators. Some of the chemical analysis will be done at JNU by Dr. Rajamani and his students. Scope: This project is building on a well-established working relationship by the two scientists. They have several joint publications as a result of their previous work. This project is likely to continue this productive scientific cooperation. U.S. Graduate students and post doctorates, from the SUNY at Stony Brook, are involved in the field work, and are expected to gain experience in international research efforts.
