Collaborative Research: Continental Break-up, Ridge Segmentation and Subduction of the Woodlark Basin

项目资助项目pi继续研究早期从Woodlark盆地收集的带状带和地球物理数据，这些数据显示了大陆分裂、扩张中心分割和脊/海山俯冲。这将有助于更好地了解洋脊分割的构造、岩浆活动与断裂的相互作用以及扩张中心俯冲的历史。pi还将创建一个全面的盆地GIS数据库，以研究全球板块构造过程。更广泛的影响包括支持早期职业教师和开发本科教学模块。

0526030Taylor/GoodliffeAbstractFunding is provided for the PIs to continue working on the swath and geophysical data recently collected earlier from the Woodlark Basin that shows continental breakup, spreading center segmentation and ridge/seamount subduction. This will allow a better understanding of the structure of the ocean ridge segmentation, the interplay of magmatism and faulting and the history of spreading center subduction. The PIs will also create a comprehensive GIS database of the Basin to study the global plate tectonic processes.Broader impacts include support for an early career faculty member and development of undergraduate teaching modules.
