This award supports a mineralogic, petrologic, and geochronologic study of the high-grade metamorphic rocks of Central Queen Land, a portion of the East Antarctic Precambrian shield. Field work will be done during the 1989-1990 austral season. The Principal Investigator has been designated the U.S. exchange scientist with the Soviet Antarctic Expedition. Research will focus on the metasediments: the pressure-temperature conditions of the different events and fluid conditions of metamorphism, in particular, the role of CO2 in granulite-facies metamorphism. Geochronologic studies should provide information on geologic history of the high-grade metamorphic rocks prior to emplacement of pegamite and granite 600 million years ago, so that central Queen Maud Land can be correlated not only with other parts of the East Antarctic Shield, but also with southern Africa.

该奖项支持对昆士兰州中部（东南极前寒武纪地盾的一部分）的高级变质岩进行矿物学、岩石学和地质年代学研究。 实地工作将在 1989-1990 南方季节进行。 首席研究员已被指定为苏联南极考察队的美国交换科学家。 研究重点是变沉积岩：不同事件的压力-温度条件和变质作用的流体条件，特别是二氧化碳在麻粒岩相变质作用中的作用。 地质年代学研究应提供 6 亿年前伟晶岩和花岗岩就位之前的高级变质岩的地质历史信息，以便毛德皇后地中部不仅可以与东南极地盾的其他部分建立联系，还可以与东南极地盾的其他部分建立联系。南部非洲。
