Collaborative Research: Integrated Thermochronological & Structural Investigation of the Saudi Arabian Red Sea Rift Margin:Implications for the Rupturing of Continental Lithosp

pi将对沙特阿拉伯红海边缘进行结构和热年代学研究，作为边缘“大陆岩石圈破裂”倡议的一部分。这一边缘为研究与大陆裂陷有关的过程以及伸展应变在空间和时间上的分布提供了难得的机会。pi将在研究区域采用磷灰石裂变径迹和(U-Th)/He热年代学和构造测绘来实现他们的目标。这项研究将有助于更全面地了解红海裂谷，并将成为边际计划下该地区计划进行的总体地质/地球物理工作的一部分。预计将与沙特地质调查局密切合作。

The PIs will undertake a structural and thermo-chronological study of the Saudi Arabian Red Sea margin as a part of the MARGINS "Rupture of the Continental Lithosphere" initiative. This margin offers an exceptional opportunity to study the processes associated with continental rifting and how extensional strain is distributed in space and time. The PIs will employ apatite fission-track and (U-Th)/He thermo-chronology and structural mapping in the study area to achieve their objectives. The study will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the Red Sea rift and will form a part of the overall geological/geophysical work planned in this area under the MARGINS program. A close collaboration with the Saudi Geological Survey is envisaged.
