项目摘要

As for geophysical measurements around the East Pacific Rise (EPR four Ocean Bottom Electro Magnetometers (OBEMs) were successfully retrieved during a research cruise from the end of May/'97 through the beginning of July/'97 by R/V Melville of Scripps Institution of Oceangraphy, US,to yield electromagnetic (EM) time series at the seafloor for more than one year. The OBEMs have been installed at 17ﾟS of EPR during a previous research cruise from the middle of May/'96 through the beginning of July/'96, which was also an international cruise coordinated by Mantle ELectromagnetic and Tomography (MELT) Project. The EM data from these seafloor units are now being analyzed together with those simultaneously collected by US and Australian groups. The goal of the analyzes and subsequent modellings/inversions is reveal the EM structure of melt bodies just below the super spreading center. Specifically, this research aims at quantifying the geometry, melt fraction and connectedness of the melt bodies by a joint observation of seismics and magnetotellurics at the seafloor.In terms of study of the very old oceanic crust in Archaen, rock sampling was conducted in South Africa and Zimbabwe this year. The samples collected are either igneous or sedimentary rocks as old as 2,500 to 3,500 Ma. These samples are in the course of petrological, geological and paleomagnetic analyzes to yield estimates of the tectonic activity at the seafloor and Earth's geomagnetic field in Archaen, which will be combined with the results from the samples collected in Australia ('95) and in Canada ('96) to give reconstruction of a worldwide view of the Earth in Archaen.

至于东太平洋隆起周围的地球物理测量（EPR），斯克里普斯研究所的 R/V Melville 在 97 年 5 月底到 97 年 7 月初的一次研究巡航中成功回收了四台海底电磁计（OBEM）美国海洋学研究所在之前的一次研究巡航中，在 EPR 的 17°S 处安装了 OBEM，以产生海底电磁 (EM) 时间序列。 96 年 5 月中旬到 96 年 7 月初，这也是由地幔电磁和断层扫描 (MELT) 项目协调的一次国际航行。这些海底装置的电磁数据现在正在与美国同时收集的数据一起进行分析。合并和随后的建模/反演的目标是揭示超级扩散中心下方熔体的电磁结构，具体而言，本研究旨在通过量化熔体的几何形状、熔体分数和连通性。海底地震和大地电磁学的联合观测。在对Archaen非常古老的洋壳的研究方面，今年在南非和津巴布韦进行了岩石采样，收集的样品是距今2500年的火成岩或沉积岩。 3,500 Ma。这些样本正在进行岩石学、地质学和古地磁旋转，以估计海底构造活动和地球磁场。在阿尔查恩，它将与在澳大利亚（'95）和加拿大（'96）收集的样本结果相结合，以重建阿尔查恩的地球全球视图。
