This project aims to evaluate a new theory that suggests mountain belts are repeatedly built and then destroyed, taking advantage of the youthful and classic natural laboratory offered by the European Alps. We will use geochronology, structural geology and metamorphic petrology to track individual rocks through time and space, and compare the results with predictions made by computer simulations. The initiation of these episodes of immense destruction in mountain belts occurs at the same time as the creation of deep Earth resources. This project will, as its main outcome, provide the foundation for future theoretical understanding of these remarkable coincidences.

该项目旨在评估一种新的理论，该理论表明，通过利用欧洲阿尔卑斯山提供的年轻和经典的自然实验室，反复建造山带然后被摧毁。 我们将使用地质学，结构地质和变质岩石学来跟踪各个时空的岩石，并将结果与​​计算机模拟的预测进行比较。 与创造深层资源的创造同时发生了这些巨大破坏事件的发作。作为其主要结果，该项目将为对这些杰出巧合的未来理论理解奠定基础。
