Experimental tectonics: localization of deformation and magmatism in continental crust

变形和岩浆活动在所有构造环境和所有尺度上都具有很强的局限性。我未来五年的研究计划将集中在这种定位的性质和物理控制上。通过野外观测、地球物理观测和地质年代学的结合，确定了不同构造环境下局部变形和侵入性火成岩活动的特征。将通过三维物理模拟程序，利用最近建立的实验构造实验室，并辅以二维数值实验，研究局部化的物理机制和控制因素。重点开展以下子项目，每年招收研究生不超过4人，博士后不超过1人。

Both deformation and magmatic activity are strongly localized in all tectonic settings and at all scales. My research program over the next five years will focus on the nature and physical controls on such localization. The characteristics of localized deformation and intrusive igneous activity in a variety of tectonic settings will be determined by a combination of field and geophysical observations and geochronology. The physical mechanisms and controls on localization will be investigated by a program of three-dimensional physical modeling, using a recently established experimental tectonics laboratory, complemented by two-dimensional numerical experiments. Efforts will be focused on the following sub-projects to be carried out by up to 4 graduate students per year and one post doctoral fellow.
