Isotopic Evolution of the Southeast Indian Ocean

Christie, David

Abstract

In this project the P.I. will analyze existing samples from Legs 28 and 29 of DSDP from the Indian ocean. The data will be used to (a) evaluate the extent of variation of isotopic composition of the Indian ocean MOR mantle, and (b) determine whether Pacific mantle has migrated westward through time and, if so, at what rate.
