The objective of this research proposal is to advance the theory and techniques of metamorphic petrology, and to apply these in concert with allied techniques to solve broader problems in Earth Science. Metamorphic petrology is a specialized branch of geology that is concerned with changes in the mineralogy and textures of rocks in response to burial and heating in the Earth's lithosphere. It provides unique and essential information for understanding Earth evolution and behavior. Reading the record of metamorphic rocks allows us to piece together the complex history of Earth's plate interactions through time, to account for geophysical features deep in the unexposed Earth, and to understand the environment in which ore deposits form.

这项研究建议的目的是推进变质岩石学的理论和技术，并与相关技术一致地应用它们，以解决地球科学中更广泛的问题。变质岩石学是地质的一个专业分支，涉及矿物学和岩石质地的变化，以应对地球岩石圈中的埋葬和加热。它为理解地球进化和行为提供了独特而重要的信息。阅读变质岩石的记录使我们能够将地球板相互作用的复杂历史拼凑在一起，以说明未暴露的地球深处的地球物理特征，并了解矿石沉积的环境。
