Collaborative Research: Data Synthesis for Examination of Magmatic, Tectonic, and Hydrothermal Acitivity at the Endeavour Segment ISS

在美国西北海岸外的大洋中脊扩张中心胡安德富卡山脊上，研究最深入的地点之一是奋进山脊段。在过去的10年里，美国国家科学基金会资助的海脊2000计划对这一地区进行了广泛的测绘和采样，该计划的目标是极大地促进我们对大洋中脊岩浆、地震、热液和生物系统、它们的行为以及它们如何联系在一起的理解。资助的项目侧重于纠正样品/特征位置的导航误差，汇编来自国家科学基金会和非国家科学基金会资助的巡航和研究的数据，以创建高分辨率的地质和地球化学特征/属性综合地图。这些完全不同的数据集的并列将使我们能够更全面、更全面地思考这些重要的火山系统是如何运作的，将能够将该地区与环绕地球的大洋中脊系统的其他部分进行比较，并将阐明控制大洋中脊火山活动和热液喷发的过程。这项工作的更广泛影响包括支持研究生和本科生、博士后和在科学领域性别代表性不足的PI。

One of the best studied sites on the Juan de Fuca Ridge, a mid-ocean ridge spreading center off the northwestern coast of the US, is the Endeavor Ridge Segment. This area has been extensively mapped and sampled over the last 10 years by the NSF-funded Ridge 2000 Program whose objective is to dramatically advance our understanding of mid-ocean ridge magmatic, seismic, hydrothermal, and biological systems, how they behave, and how they are linked together. The funded project focuses on correcting navigation errors in sample/feature locations and compiling data from NSF and non-NSF funded cruises and studies to create a high resolution, integrated map of geological and geochemical features/attributes. The juxtaposition of these disparate datasets will enable big-picture, integrated thinking about how these important volcanic systems operate, will allow comparison of this area with other parts of the globe-encircling mid-ocean ridge system, and will illuminate the processes that control volcanism and hydrothermal venting at mid-ocean ridges. Broader impacts of the work include support of graduate and undergraduate students, a postdoc, and a PI whose gender is under-represented in the sciences.
