The PIs will undertake a structural and thermo-chronological study of the Saudi Arabian Red Sea margin as a part of the MARGINS "Rupture of the Continental Lithosphere" initiative. This margin offers an exceptional opportunity to study the processes associated with continental rifting and how extensional strain is distributed in space and time. The PIs will employ apatite fission-track and (U-Th)/He thermo-chronology and structural mapping in the study area to achieve their objectives. The study will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the Red Sea rift and will form a part of the overall geological/geophysical work planned in this area under the MARGINS program. A close collaboration with the Saudi Geological Survey is envisaged.

作为 MARGINS“大陆岩石圈破裂”计划的一部分，PI 将对沙特阿拉伯红海边缘进行结构和热年代学研究。这一边缘为研究与大陆裂谷相关的过程以及拉伸应变如何在空间和时间上分布提供了绝佳的机会。 PI 将在研究区域采用磷灰石裂变径迹和 (U-Th)/He 热年代学和结构测绘来实现其目标。这项研究将有助于更全面地了解红海裂谷，并将成为 MARGINS 计划下该地区规划的总体地质/地球物理工作的一部分。预计将与沙特地质调查局密切合作。
