Does deformation lead to misinformation? How much can granitic rocks deform before accesso — NSF Award to Washington State Univers
How Earth’s early crust formed and evolved is one of the most debated questions in Earth Science. A major problem is that all of these ancient rocks have experienced at least one episode of alteration, deformation and/or metamorphism. So no pristine rocks (protoliths) exist. However, many studies have used whole rock g

| Abstract | How Earth’s early crust formed and evolved is one of the most debated questions in Earth Science. A major problem is that all of these ancient rocks have experienced at least one episode of alteration, deformation and/or metamorphism. So no pristine rocks (protoliths) exist. However, many studies have used whole rock geochemistry and isotope tracers, and more recently the isotope signatures of accessory phases as important anchor points for models of how the crust has evolved and grown over time |
