U.S.-Ireland Planning Visit: Collaborative Geophysics & Petrologic Research on Shallow-Level Magmatic Processes

Oise 07-35108 Michael Petronis该项目为计划访问都柏林三一学院(TCD)和都柏林大学学院(UCD)提供支持。美国首席研究员是新墨西哥州高地大学(NMHU)的迈克尔·彼得罗尼斯(Michael Petronis)。爱尔兰同行是TCD的瓦伦丁·特罗尔和UCD的布莱恩·奥德里斯科尔。此次计划访问的主要目的是支持美国参与者(PI、共同PI和两名美国本科生)前往爱尔兰，以完成撰写一份NSF地球科学多年合作研究提案，该研究提案由来自NMHU、TCD和UCD的研究人员和学生共同完成，以调查西班牙特内里费岛泰德火山杂岩的浅层岩浆动力学、岩浆侵位机制和裂谷侧翼稳定性。尽管进行了150多年的野外和实验室研究，但了解岩浆的迁移及其向次火山层次的侵位是一个基本的火山过程，人们对此仍然知之甚少。这项研究的结果将提高对浅层、次火山水平的岩浆流动的理解，包括更好地了解与活跃的火山中心下的岩浆迁移相关的潜在危险。这种合作是互补的，因为美国PI在岩石/古磁学、岩浆侵位过程、火成岩岩石学和地球化学方面的综合经验与爱尔兰参与者的岩石学、模拟实验和数值模拟专业知识非常好地结合在一起。

OISE 07-35108Michael PetronisThis project provides support for a planning visit to Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and University College Dublin (UCD). The U.S. principal investigator is Michael Petronis from New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU). The Irish counterparts are Valentin Troll at TCD and Brian O'Driscoll at UCD. The primary purpose of this planning visit is to support US participant (PI, co-PI and two US undergraduate students) travel to Ireland to finalize writing a multi-year NSF Earth Sciences collaborative research proposal between researchers and students from NMHU, TCD, and UCD to investigate shallow level magma dynamics, magma emplacement mechanisms, and rift flank stability of the Teide Volcanic Complex, Tenerife, Island, Spain. Understanding migration of magma and its emplacement into sub-volcanic levels is a fundamental volcanic process that remains poorly understood despite more than 150 years of field and laboratory research. The results of this research will improve the understanding of magma flow at shallow, sub-volcanic levels, including better knowledge of the potential hazards associated with magma migration beneath active volcanic centers.This collaboration is complementary in that the combined experience of the US PIs in rock-/paleo-magnetism, magma emplacement processes, igneous petrology and geochemistry integrates extremely well with the proficiency of the Irish participants' petrology, analog experiment, and numerical modeling expertise.
