| Abstract |
Recommended project is for a comprehensive geochemical and geochronological
examination of Eocene to Miocene volcanism in the southern arc and
backarc of the Izu-Bonin-Marianas (IBM) arc system, tracing its
older development with time. In doing so, the recommended research
will also re-examine well-characterized samples that have been previously
investigated using older, obsolescent anayltical techniques. This
study will examine the changing nature of volcanism in the IBM system,
as it transformed from "boninitic" volcanism associated with subduction
initiation to the more "normal" tholeitic and cal-clkaline arc volcanism
also seen today in the modern volcanic arc and backarc. This study
also will examine the changing nature of the mantle sources during
this transformation, as well as the implications they carry for
tectonic processes during the arc system evolution. Previously sampled
lavas and other volcanic rocks will be supplemented by collection
of new samples during field work on Guam; all of these samples will
be analyzed for major and trace elemental composition, isotopic
composition, and geochronological (40 Ar - 39 Ar) dating using the
latest analytical techniques. |
