NSF Young Investigator

9458418 Bettison-Varga三个严格受限的研究项目将包括：1)表征胡安德富卡山脊中山谷的层状硅酸盐，以评估其形成的孔隙度/渗透率控制；2)塞浦路斯Troodos蛇绿岩中的绿帘岩和围岩的铅和S同位素表征，以圈定产生大量硫化物矿床的流体通道并评价岩石圈的同位素不均一性；3)亚利桑那州Black Mountain的火山岩岩相学和地球化学研究，以确定断裂拆离与火山作用之间的关系。重要的本科教学将被纳入职业发展计划，包括入门课程和高级课程。

9458418 Bettison-Varga Three tightly constrained research projects will include: 1) characterization of phyllosilicates from the Middle Valley, Juan de Fuca Ridge hydrothermal system to evaluate porosity/permeability controls on their formation; 2) Pb and S isotope characterization of epidosites and surrounding rocks from the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus to delineate fluid pathways that produced massive sulfide deposits and evaluate isotopic heterogeneity of the lithosphere; and 3) petrographic and geochemical study of volcanics in the Black Mountains, Arizona to determine the relationships between detachment faulting and volcanism. Significant undergraduate teaching will be incorporated in the career development plan, both in introductory and advanced level courses.
