Tectonothermal History of Pre-Pan-Africa: Inferences from Field, Geochronologic and Isotopic Data: U.S.-Egypt Cooperative Science Program

小行星9313017苏丹 技术叙述： 该项目代表了华盛顿大学和埃及开罗的埃及地质调查局之间的合作研究成果。 研究人员打算使用野外测绘、遥感和高精度U-Pb测年技术，以增进我们对埃及南部地质历史的了解。 这项研究将对了解非洲大陆的演变产生影响。 项目资金将使研究人员能够在埃及南部进行地质年代学和同位素调查，并使一名埃及地质学家能够访问华盛顿大学最先进的实验室设施，以便接受遥感判读和现代同位素测年技术方面的高级培训。 这个岩石学和地球化学项目通过使美国和埃及的领先专家能够联合收割机互补人才并在相互感兴趣和有能力的领域进行研究，实现了推进科学知识的计划目标。 ***

9313017 Sultan Technical Narrative: This project represents a collaborative research effort between Washington University and the Egyptian Geological Survey in Cairo, Egypt. The investigators intend to use field mapping, remote sensing, and high precision U-Pb dating techniques in order to advance our knowledge of the geologic history of southern Egypt. This study will have implications for the understanding of the continental evolution of Africa. Project funding will allow the researchers to conduct geochronologic and isotopic investigations in southern Egypt as well as enable an Egyptian geologist to visit the state-of-the-art laboratory facilities at Washington University in order to receive advanced training in remote sensing interpretation and modern isotopic dating techniques. This project in petrology and geochemistry fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Egypt to combine complementary talents and conduct research in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. ***
