00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:19.000
Alright, I think it's time to start Good morning, everyone. Welcome to notice GSA will start our session by it's about the tectonic evolution of eastern North America from rocks seismic data experiments and models.

2
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:36.000
We have for convenience for the session. I am our control room on along with me is Sarah minor and Victor guerra and Pamela Peterman Emily's unfortunately going to be not going to be able to join us this morning.

3
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:44.000
We have 12 presentation this morning, 10 of them are all presentations, and two posters.

4
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:50.000
Some of the presentations are going to be pure recorded so we will be running it for you.

5
00:00:50.000 --> 00:01:08.000
But all presenters are going to be live here for your questions before we start to listen. Awesome talks ranging from the surface geology to seismic works on the eastern North America.

6
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:17.000
I would like to make a couple of reminders for those who are not very familiar with the zoom and zoom environment.

7
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:33.000
All of you have access to the whole features of the zoom, you will probably see at the bottom of your screen. There are two important parts where you can mute and unmute yourself, please when you join the

8
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:41.000
conference room, mute yourself so that the speakers will not hear any of your background noise.

9
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:49.000
You can mute and unmute yourself, anytime during the during the talks. If you have any questions.

10
00:01:49.000 --> 00:02:05.000
We also have the chat button. If you click on that you will see on the side, right side of your screen chat is going to be open. If you have any questions for the talks you can write your questions to the chat button.

11
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:16.000
We as creators will check the questions at the end of the talks and ask directly to the speakers, or you can raise your hands and ask your questions live.

12
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:35.000
It's very easy, depending on the version of your zoom, but if you click on the reactions button. You will see emoji saying Raise your hands, I'm just clicking on it and I'm raising my hand, unless you do not lower your hands, your hands will be raised,

13
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:42.000
and that will be the way that we will be actually knowing that you have a questions.

14
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:57.000
Other than that, I would like to also remind the zoom advocates, please show respect to the others, and if you have any kind of questions about the ethical perspectives.

15
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:18.000
Please tell us, and connect us. You can also send messages directly to the people in the room in the chat button probably you see to everyone, as a default, you can actually click on that menu and see the different names, whoever you want to contact privately,

16
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.000
you can actually contact, as well.

17
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:30.000
So, If you have any questions in just a few times, don't hesitate to contact us privately from the chat button. Right.

18
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:52.000
So, as I mentioned, we have 12 presentations this morning. 10 of them are going to be in person. Each speaker will have 20 minutes in total. We expect them to have their talks at about 15 minutes, and then five minutes, more or less, we will have some

19
00:03:52.000 --> 00:04:09.000
to in a session. So, once again, if you have any questions you have two different way of asking them either using the chat button or just raise your hands unmute yourself and then you can ask your questions.

20
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:24.000
So I think this is more or less what we have in mind, and we have almost there to start. And right now, there are 51 people. So thank you again for joining for this session.

21
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:45.000
Yes. All right, let's start slowly, our first talk is titled Magnum Magnum mingling and contact metamorphosis during an onsite manager I China guy Brown Eyed suits and placement is to another one Doc Martens New York by Peter rally and Greg wash and peak

22
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:50.000
peak is going to deliver this talk, Pete, go ahead.

23
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:59.000
Alright. Thanks sir can get my screen going here.

24
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:06.000
There it is.

25
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.000
And I'm on

26
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:17.000
it starting the slide show it says,

27
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:22.000
Okay, everybody see the screen.

28
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:33.000
Yes, it's okay. Um, so, Greg and I have been mapping in the eastern Adirondack Mountains. And just a fantastic place to work.

29
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:38.000
So much geology to see, despite the like in this around.

30
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:56.000
You can find lots of great outcrop with some very interesting geologic processes going on, just to give an overview of the project. We are mapping theyre in eastern Adirondacks is part of a multi year project to map much of the Eastern Adirondacks one

31
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:09.000
to 24,000. Despite people working there for 130 years hundred and 40 years, there are very few one to 24,000 max.

32
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:14.000
Only some really tiny detailed maps that people have done.

33
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:28.000
We're there to evaluate the geologic structures metamorphosis of, and especially the origins of magnetite appetite deposits that have associated rare elements with them, and the appetite.

34
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:33.000
The field mapping is done using some awesome new LIDAR that we have.

35
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:43.000
We have airborne geophysics, and we have some folks in Colorado, who are describing your deposits.

36
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:55.000
If I could pick any tool to use outside of a compass. It's the lighter boy, it saves so much time, you can see where every single outcrop is you know have to go searching through the woods.

37
00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:06.000
And finally, we'd like to say something about the tectonic evolution of Eastern Adirondacks, there's not been a lot of work done on sheer zones and, and much of the structure.

38
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.000
So we'd like to get some answers for that.

39
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:29.000
Just a quick background for the eastern Adirondacks Adirondack Mountains or extension of the Granville province exposed in Quebec and Ontario.

40
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:38.000
the Adirondack lowlands and the Adirondack Highlands along something called the Carthage Colton shear zone, which or con is done some work on.

41
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:44.000
And the highlands were metamorphose by both the show and again and auto in phases of the Granville Rajini.

42
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:51.000
But the lowlands have only seen show in again defamation and metamorphosis.

43
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.000
So here's where we're working.

44
00:07:53.000 --> 00:08:16.000
This red box is a big overview of the Eastern Adirondacks northern New York, and are nine quads, that we have in plan to do the bottom three here paradox leg Eagle Lake and Crown Point are completed in one form or another, I think.

45
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.000
Crown Point is just about ready to go and Greg will be talking about that.

46
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:30.000
I'm working up here and poor Henry, which is one of the central locations for a lot of the historical iron mining that was going on in the area.

47
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:35.000
If you've never been to the eastern Adirondacks. I really recommend it. It's.

48
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:44.000
I think Greg and I both feel are incredibly lucky to get to go out there, even during covert I got to do at least five or six weeks of mapping.

49
00:08:44.000 --> 00:09:05.000
It's just spectacular. So, the eastern Adirondacks themselves, they're dominated by this 1100 and 60. million year old approximately a Northside Andre, China Kate granite suite that intrudes an older meta sedimentary see plants.

50
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:16.000
These rocks have been metamorphose to upper amphibious lighter grainy light bases. We recognize four distinct periods of information in the map area.

51
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:30.000
But despite much of this metamorphosis and information, a lot of the intrusive contacts are preserved by a big metamorphic over. and that's what I'm going to talk about today.

52
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.000
Just a quick overview of the units that I see in the map area.

53
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:48.000
There's a get broken Northside Gabrielle on northeast say this is part of the white face faces named by camp in 1898, start to be a border faces of the big Marcy and North the site.

54
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:53.000
I see no mercy at all important Henry.

55
00:09:53.000 --> 00:10:10.000
The Rock varies from being a nice to completely under form, magnetic textures, their mutual cross cutting relationships between the Gabrielle and the in order to say next June is China kite nice, which.

56
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:20.000
Overall I would describe it as a horn blend granite. It probably had a lot more appeared see minute to start with a subsequent metamorphosis over printed in.

57
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.000
It's really a series of rocks.

58
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.000
Hearing seeing granite court cyanide cyanide.

59
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:44.000
True Charnock a Monterey, and Garnet granite and almost always and treats the gap row North the site, but it was rarely observed to see the Gabrielle and truth the churn two units that I won't talk about today are the line mountain granite nice, this

60
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:50.000
is the host all the magnetite deposits are the majority of magnetite deposits.

61
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.000
It has magnetite everywhere.

62
00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:03.000
It's been affected by fluid alteration around the number of your deposits, and it has intrudes all of the units.

63
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:12.000
And then there's a meta sedimentary sequence of making attack nice Marvel prophetic marvel of course site and film.

64
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.000
So general contact relationships.

65
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:34.000
We see evidence for Magnum mixing their intrusion branches, can't describe that as lock structure. So strap assimilation is mineral live mineralization along context, the context can be razor sharp inner fingered creation know obviously tectonic, and

66
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.000
sometimes you just can't tell.

67
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:47.000
you just can't tell. As a general sequence from oldest to youngest or Northside is the oldest gab bro, followed by Charnock I, and then line mountain.

68
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.000
Great. Nice.

69
00:11:48.000 --> 00:12:01.000
So here's some field shots of the North the site gap bro. You can see in the upper left the top of that outcrop is Lupo Gabrielle. The bottom is Garnet Baron North the site.

70
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:12.000
And you can, you can see that the boundary is very diffuse, you can see Garnett's that are put this in quotation marks, raining out of gab row.

71
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:19.000
On the right hand side you can see some big flash.

72
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:28.000
For for blast or output for blast but Xena list from the north the site, better that have been trained within the gap.

73
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:39.000
And then in the lower left, you can see that the rocks do get get pretty good for music, you can see some asymmetric tails on those garnets.

74
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:44.000
So the Charnock I Gabrielle contact, which is what I'll be talking about today.

75
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:58.000
The turncoats generally younger, and the contact itself can be quite complex, it's great emotional over the distance of maybe 60 or 70 meters.

76
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:15.000
Starting in, what it would be the true China Kate Rog, you go through a sequence, at least in this particular area where I looked at it, the chocolate cake goes to manager I may think China kite or cyanide.

77
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:21.000
Which that actually might be part of the gap row now after living in sections.

78
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:28.000
There's a magnet to eliminate CPE x rock, and then you get into a true gab.

79
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:41.000
And that sequence is all inner layer with other little things, small granite layers granite segments I say make make mistake felt and rarely north.

80
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:47.000
So there's a lot going on at the contact between the China guy, and the gap.

81
00:13:47.000 --> 00:14:02.000
But textures within the outcrop, they can be shared in that section iraq that's a foot long, and then be completely uninformed right next to it, there's you know lists of get broke rocks in China guy.

82
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:16.000
But the one I'll go through a number of thin sections today is about a mile away from the one listed above, and that will be contact from Monterey through a mix pregnant type rock.

83
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:21.000
An iron rich iron rich piercing Gabrielle, and fill it and then gap.

84
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:39.000
I was really lucky that the town of Port Henry was retrenching or retrenching ditch that went right across these contacts and so here's the contact almost hundred percent expose which is pretty rare.

85
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:56.000
So here are some field shots of the Charnock Chi, and the Gabrielle and the transitions in the upper left, you can see a fairly sharp boundary of the charges against the Gabrielle Gabrielle either has lots of Lucas zones or less a little fingers of China

86
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.000
K and treating it.

87
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:11.000
I'm not sure which which of those is the case in the upper right, you can see China k shooting into the lower left and Xena lip.

88
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.000
Garnet bearing Gabrielle and chocolate cake.

89
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:26.000
Another Xena live with lots of swirly bits and making minerals in China.

90
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:35.000
So, here is more of the town for Henry was retrenching The road is still the Shire road and SOS.

91
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:50.000
The main place I'll talk about is this contact with the Charnock I on the southwest side, and the Gabrielle and the North East Side, the red line, marking the approximate contact the field shots are from near this yellow circle.

92
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:55.000
Today I'll be going through in sections where the Green Star is.

93
00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:05.000
And I'll. Originally I was going to go through what the site looks like along the sheer sounds. And I'll show one of those at the end.

94
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:11.000
But I didn't have the time to cover all of it.

95
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:21.000
So, here. This is another fun thing and working from home as all my thin section photos are from my iPhone putting pointed down.

96
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.000
I hold the microscope.

97
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:34.000
So I'm on the left cross polarized light, a pretty typical Charnock I rock period seen this op x.

98
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:40.000
The forum Garnett pathetic felt spar and, and pledge.

99
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:47.000
So, but as you get close to the contact with the camera, things start to change.

100
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.000
So here we are.

101
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:59.000
We're in the gap row and we're going to make it transept off to the north, east of Britain the charter guy, we're going to make a trade off to the north, east to the Gabrielle.

102
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:07.000
This is the gap row right at the contact so here you're about a meter away, or where you get into a big mix.

103
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:20.000
And unfortunately this rock it was really hard to say a whole lot about all the, all of what used to be period seen an affable is all late chloride.

104
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.000
One thing that did get preserved.

105
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:29.000
These garnets with Big Magic plays halos around them.

106
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:43.000
So that was interesting that'll be part of our metamorphic story i think i. It was really hard to tell any effects from the intrusion, because of the, the low grade over print.

107
00:17:43.000 --> 00:18:03.000
But moving along the first rock at the contact is a pigment a very mixed pigments sports magic plays horn Lynn by it site, and then oxides are a mixture of illuminate and magnetite

108
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:10.000
it. To me, it looked like a hybrid rock between the charter K, in the gap bro.

109
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.000
It could possibly be late.

110
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:20.000
Late segment tight that just happened to us, the contact as a conduit.

111
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.000
I'll have to take a closer look at that.

112
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:26.000
When we get back to the field.

113
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:47.000
The second rock, which is three meters from the contact. It's very interesting because the period scenes, and this is without doing any sem or micro probe analysis. They appear that they're going to be very iron rich, either even better guy or iron rich,

114
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:53.000
which is a bit unusual for the gab row.

115
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:59.000
And there's this strange orange alteration that I can't quite identify maybe it's your ally.

116
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:05.000
Some of it is chloride I can tell this is quite bright orange.

117
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:08.000
Not sure why.

118
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:24.000
So this rock three meters from the contact has some big iron rich pyrrhic scenes, you can see rim net coronas or coronas around Garnet Garnet array Corona pelagic plays.

119
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:42.000
It also has little inclusions oxides horn blend. And then there will be an outer rim of horn blend. And the gap bro i sorry, the pyrrhic scene is kind of in a layer all by itself, going through the middle.

120
00:19:42.000 --> 00:20:06.000
So that is three meters from the context, continuing on to Iraq, we're about seven meters away, 20 feet. I have an amphibious like. So it's almost all horn blend mixed up sides again with element AI and magnetic has budget plays and loads of appetite.

121
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.000
Rock is just full of appetite.

122
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:21.000
I believe it was the Gabrielle at one point, because they're altered minerals with little bits and specs of client appeared seen in the PC.

123
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:43.000
And there's no garden. So, the Garnet is not for whatever reason, I attributed to contact metamorphic ism, the calcium would be going into appetite. It's not making Garnett, it's a bit unusual because almost every rock has gone in it, in this area.

124
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:49.000
One thing I forgot to say is that, I'm going to show you lots of observations and not have a lot of answers.

125
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:57.000
That's, that's what this summer will be four key, that's about 20 feet from the contact.

126
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:18.000
And then, finally, because, you know, a mapping I can't collect the sample every two meters unless something really interesting comes up, which now has been about 40 meters from the contact of the Charnock a start to get back into what I would consider

127
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:30.000
the true Gabrielle surely Gaborone door right with lots of period scenes, this photo micro graph up in the on the left hand corner.

128
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:43.000
That's all client appeared seen in that in section view so pure UK scene is quite happy here. Garnet is very happy.

129
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:47.000
So, just looks like a pretty typical gab bro.

130
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.000
It's Gabrielle nice.

131
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:54.000
It is a bit deformed here.

132
00:21:54.000 --> 00:22:07.000
So, just approve or I think prove to you that these relationships are in related to intrusion.

133
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:29.000
I went through and I found thin sections progressing from almost completely under formed in the gab row to proto mile a night in the gap row. And so these three sections are from the sheer zone on the northeast and build a Shire road, and you can see

134
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:38.000
here's a nice coordinated gab row with, as described by Whitney and McClellan and 73.

135
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:58.000
There's couldn't find all have been in it, there might be at least where we're working it seems to be the rocks have eliminated, most of the all of the, maybe one, if I get on the SEM I can find some, but here you see nice coronas with spin owl or eliminate

136
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:08.000
magnetite cores, surrounded by horn bland. And then the matrix says this beautiful flash laugh in it.

137
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:24.000
Some partially replaced by Garnet bent a little bit, but as you go to the northeast and you start to deform this rock, you can see here in the right upper right side, that the mineralogy is basically the same.

138
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:28.000
But everything's getting getting flattened out and shared out.

139
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:36.000
And then finally, the sample, that's closest to the sheer zone, it's just it's just pretty hammered.

140
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:40.000
That being said, there's still a period scene in the rock.

141
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:43.000
Even after undergoing all that information.

142
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:53.000
So, you have almost two minutes left, so Okay, start to wrap up so maybe we can have a quick question.

143
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.000
Sure.

144
00:23:55.000 --> 00:24:08.000
I'll just show you on the map there where we were working, here's a big shear zone I've mapped. This is where those last samples are from this is where the, What I believe is the intrusive contact is from.

145
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:12.000
And I'll just skip through the information.

146
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:26.000
So, we're mapping in the Adirondacks, there's the preservation of igneous processes related to AMCGMCG sweet intrusion, despite a big metamorphic and tectonic over print.

147
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:32.000
So I'll just leave it at that and we can have a quick question.

148
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.000
Thank you very much.

149
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:45.000
We have one minute, maybe a one quick question for Pete anyone has a question, please raise your hand, or you can actually type your questions on the chat box.

150
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.000
After the top.

151
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:56.000
Pete can answer that, see if there's any questions,

152
00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.000
see any, I have a quick question.

153
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:12.000
You mentioned these two types of roles are they, I'm sure they are different from each other, is it possible to discriminate them in the field at a more diverse.

154
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:24.000
dB in the pyrrhic scenes that iron rage period scene. Yeah, the alpha balls in those rocks versus the, you know, like pragmatists of honorable in it as well.

155
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:35.000
You cannot, in fact it's even difficult to tell the difference between the horn blend and the period scenes in the field because it's all black.

156
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:44.000
I was that bluish green color in the pyrrhic scene and I was really surprised to see, I have not seen that before. Because typically the climate pyrrhic scenes just clear.

157
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:48.000
Probably RJ.

158
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:51.000
So you cannot tell it in the field.

159
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:52.000
Thank you.

160
00:25:52.000 --> 00:26:09.000
There's some question on the chat box so go ahead and answer that. But we'll move on to the second talk we have the second talk, it will be staying in other index integrated that bedrock logic mapping in the Adirondack highlands of New York, by Gregory

161
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:14.000
was laying off. Ryan Taylor, and Anjana show.

162
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:24.000
Greg is going to give the talk. I will give you a heads up when you have done your 15 minutes. Okay, good thank you Larkin, and good morning everybody.

163
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:42.000
Happy Friday. I think you can see my screen I hope you get off to my left here, and I'll probably turn off my video for a second while I go through the talk, will be talking about mostly bedrock geologic mapping results over the past couple years and

164
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:48.000
the Adirondack Highlands.

165
00:26:48.000 --> 00:27:00.000
This project is focused mostly on one to 24,000 scale mapping in the Adirondack Mountains funded from the USGS national cooperative geologic mapping programs and the mineral resources programs.

166
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:15.000
When I say integrated bedrock mapping I'm talking about different tools that we're using in the field and the first and foremost is boots on the ground but we're also able to use LIDAR new airport into physics, chemistry metrology economic geology geology

167
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:29.000
and some strategic fi and paleontology, most of the work I'm going to be talking about today all the work and be talking about today is in the area and right here in Southern Essex County, the Adirondacks so this large area right here and Essex County

168
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:45.000
in white and the air area of the new airborne geophysical survey is this blue footprint right here. Most of us know where the Adirondacks are here they are they're an extension of the Grenville province which extends for thousands of kilometers on the

169
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:50.000
edge of Lorenza

170
00:27:50.000 --> 00:28:04.000
in the Adirondack Mountains. All the colored units here are basement rocks, middle presented basement rocks at the Adirondack Mountains in the Adirondacks are divided into the lowlands in the highlands the Adirondack lowlands occur to the northwest in

171
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:19.000
in the upper plains of the Carthage Colt shear zone there and fibber light faces rocks here, and then all the rocks down here are called the Adirondack Highlands they consist of complexity to form Meza present granulated faces rocks that have experienced

172
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:37.000
at least three grade high grade organic phase is called a wriggle at the Auto and show when again from about 1.2, to 1.0 ga. The basic rock types in here the colors in blue and pale blue are paradises marbles and some in FB light and then they are interested

173
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:52.000
by a suite of igneous rocks and Pete was referring to the AMC g sweet and or the site and yellow manager right charter kite in green and orange and and then a grant that's coming in later on those of the line mountain grants tweet here in red that extend

174
00:28:52.000 --> 00:29:05.000
down around the eastern side of the Adirondacks above these rocks are unconfirmed Lee overlain by lower Paleozoic sedimentary rocks along the great unconformity.

175
00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:15.000
This is what the great nonconforming looks like sometimes it's quite spectacular here's the Cambrian Potsdam sandstone unconformity on top of a biotech paradise.

176
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:23.000
And then here you can see it also in Putnam create this is the Potsdam sandstone and this is the basement rocks down below.

177
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:38.000
There's about one kilometer of lower Paleozoic section that it's early Cambrian the late Ordovician Great American carbonate bank on the eastern margin of Florencia, the area that I'm gonna be talking about today it was last map it over 60 years ago six

178
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:57.000
ago, bye bye well being Vermont at one to 62,500. And last map in New York by none other than john Rogers 70 years ago, and Matt Walton, and they they did the mapping at one to 20,000 but one to 21 to 24,000, but none of the mapping is published and this

179
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:07.000
sort of highlights a problem. If you look at the National geologic map database there's essentially no bedrock geologic map information for the Adirondack Karlin's.

180
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:19.000
And I think if you can see this picture right here see this right here this is a, this is the cut out of the one to 250,000 scale geologic map of New York.

181
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:38.000
This is a seven half minute quadrangle, this is the Crown Point quadrangle. This is all the published geologic map information for this area, and about 200 quadrangles in in the Adirondacks and we're trying to improve on that.

182
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:53.000
Why are we mapping in eastern Adirondack Highlands well they'll ever index have long and recognized as as a location for mineral resources, their historical iron mines and tailings in eastern Adirondack Highlands called the iron ore district, and these

183
00:30:53.000 --> 00:31:06.000
have rare earth element potential, the rare earth elements occur in Corona type iron oxide appetite or Iowa deposits that are either magnetic north fiber thermal, and there's an established link between these Iowa deposits and the line mountain granite

184
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:13.000
nice this area here in red, will focus again on this area down here.

185
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:25.000
Here's mine Ville mine Ville is probably one of the larger areas for iron extraction and Eastern Adirondacks iron mining took place from the Revolutionary War Two, but the 1970s.

186
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:37.000
At one point appetite was extracted from mine Ville and a byproduct was produced called red sand which is used for phosphorus fertilizer.

187
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:43.000
This is where we're doing active geologic mapping and about eight seven and a half minute quadrangles in southern Essex County.

188
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:50.000
We specifically target the rocks or most complexity to form, where there are high number of iron minds.

189
00:31:50.000 --> 00:32:05.000
There is no one to 24,000 published geologic maps and all these areas are considered high priority areas for mapping by the New York State Geological Survey, mostly focused about this area down here in Crown Point.

190
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:17.000
Just adjacent to that this is an example from the Eagle Lake quadrangle, if we're going to study the mines well it's very important to know where they are right fundamental question Where are the minds well if we look at the geologic maps or the total

191
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:27.000
graphic maps actually these aren't geologic maps, through time we see that in this area is called Hammond Ville back in the 1890s there was a town that were railroads.

192
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:41.000
Later on the number of the mines were shown on the map and then later on into the 1970s fewer minds were shown. And if we look at the MR DS database, there's only one.on the map so there's a disconnect here between where the actual minds are and what

193
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:45.000
they're shown on the, on different levels of mapping.

194
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:56.000
And this is what the area looks like now Hammond Ville is gone, it's a ghost town The area has been taken over by the forest so finding mines in this area is a little bit of a challenge.

195
00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:07.000
Fortunately we have LIDAR light our first became available for the Adirondacks and in 2016 right when the project was getting going, and most of the Adirondacks now have qL to data.

196
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:22.000
Light we're using LIDAR to map minds outcrops abandoned mine roads, abandoned railroads tailings piles waste rock piles and the bedrock structure in the Hammond Ville area alone, we found over 50 different pits, and for the most part we're using a percent

197
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:36.000
slope map for most of the LIDAR applications, seems to work well for finding outcrops and some of the features. This orange polygon right here is in the next picture, this is what some of the waste rock piles look like there's a geologist back there.

198
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:38.000
I think that's peak Valley.

199
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:54.000
This is what some of the mines look like they're just small holes expose on the surface and some trenches is Ryan cliff and Caitlin now LIDAR is fantastic and and, but sometimes outcrops are hard to find even when you do have LIDAR.

200
00:33:54.000 --> 00:34:09.000
So here, here's some outcrops underneath this tree fall and LIDAR of course is fantastic but it doesn't tell us what kind of rocks are on the ground so we still need boots on the ground and go collect samples is Pete showed in great detail and his presentation.

201
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:25.000
This is an example of the Crown Point quadrangle. This is a map that's in progress right now, and I'm going to focus mostly on on these LIDAR application here these green lines are near partners like dykes on the northern side of Bulldog a mountain, I'll

202
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:38.000
I'll explain the geology here in a little bit with some examples. And these northeast trending dikes extend for several kilometers and if we look on the LIDAR you can see these long lineaments that extend across the country site now if you just have the

203
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:52.000
LIDAR you know that there's a crack in the ground, but you don't know what that is, is that a fault is that a joint, or is it, is it a dike, and you don't know well now we know that these, these areas here are underlined by metric dykes, you can also

204
00:34:52.000 --> 00:35:08.000
see lineaments that are parallel to the fully ation on the liner and you can see a nice humbling experience that there's a vast amount of outcrop in the area and will only be able to get a look at some of it during the course of our mapping.

205
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:20.000
This is what these lineaments look like from the ground we're in the Champlain Valley looking to the west and you can see these, these ravines here, and this is what they actually look like in the forest.

206
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:34.000
And so I'll talk a little bit more about the bedrock geology of the Crown Point quadrangle here's a status map from the mapping program that shows the number of one to 24,000 maps and the scale maps in the Adirondacks.

207
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:47.000
This is the current point quadrangle again and here's Lake Champlain that that divides the quadrangle into New York on the west and Vermont and the East the area of Paleozoic rocks are shown in pinks and purples and a little bit of green here I'm not

208
00:35:47.000 --> 00:36:04.000
going to talk about those. But most of the focus today is on these basement rocks, this major medicine elementary rock in the area is a magnetic biotech ports pledge it plays nice you can see it all throughout here that's the brown unit on the map.

209
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:18.000
inner layer and with the paradises you have marbles and FB lights is an example of a graphite Baron calcite marble. And that was mine for both graphite and some places the marble was used for flux in the iron furnaces.

210
00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:32.000
This unit here on red on the map is the line mountain granite nice it's a furrow and alkali felt spark granite and consists of several different phases microclimate granites micro perfect granite and quartz Albert rocks were there altered.

211
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:37.000
Here it's assimilating some infinity light and it's got a very weak fully ation.

212
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:47.000
These granites occurrence sheets parallel to the existing fully ation in the area. that's the areas here and read and cross section from across this area right here.

213
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:56.000
You can see where the full ation is gently dipping with sheets of granite that are intruding a pre existing pre to form, and FB light here.

214
00:36:56.000 --> 00:37:11.000
And in cross section this this flat areas affiliation or because the light up right during the dome stage folds are found all throughout the Adirondacks in three dimensional model you can see this, this late gentleman here on this southern part of the

215
00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:18.000
Crown Point quadrangle.

216
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:31.000
This is what the or seems look like most of the orders occurs either sales or cross cutting veins or dikes these in Iowa type deposits and their most common in line mountain granite nice but they do occur within some of the other units as well.

217
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:38.000
Here, we can see that the seams are folded by these domes stage folds.

218
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:57.000
Pete Valley for his PhD did some cutting edge Zurich on geo chronology to determine that the zero con and the or seems was about 1042 1000 ma and it was younger than the host granites that he dated between about 1062 and 1033, we've continued to do some

219
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:11.000
additional geo chronology using high resolution CL imagery to reveal highly complex zircons and granular like faces zircons are quite complex, and this has been a little bit controversial but we've got a paper that's impressed right now Precambrian research.

220
00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:23.000
These are not your zircons that you see in lower grade rocks. This is an example from New Hampshire and green shoes face these blue icons. These icons in the Adirondacks are much more complex.

221
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:37.000
The results from the paper show that the Zurich encores represent the igneous age of the rock they're not the inherited age the age of the line mountain granted it's about 1162 1140, the rims represent a period of auto and metamorphic ism this these results

222
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:50.000
will overturn about 30 years of conventional thought the line mountain granite nice is the G part of the AMC g sweet, and that it's about 100 230 million years older than the Iowa deposits that it contains.

223
00:38:50.000 --> 00:39:05.000
Just some highlights some of the first modern rank one airborne geophysical surveys that have been completed in the Adirondacks much of this work and cooperation and done and led by Angie show and Denver, you can see the old era magnetic ad on the left

224
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:09.000
and the new era magnetic data on the right.

225
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:20.000
Magnetic highs correspond to Luca granites, the line mountain granite nice and some meta gab rose and lows correspond to enormous sites and marbles and some meta sedimentary rock.

226
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:32.000
This is another example of the era of magnetic data using a high pass filter to highlight some of the structures in the area. Pete was talking about the sheer zones here's an example where the highly magnetic rocks are are left laterally offset and in

227
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:43.000
the field we see often these magnetites in these dilate and dilate and share zones intruding in these in these in these planes.

228
00:39:43.000 --> 00:40:00.000
Another example of arrow magnetic data using band pass filter analysis shows that the highs correspond to known deposits, these are known mines these white dots and also highlight some places where there are no known deposits that might indicate potential

229
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.000
shallow sources.

230
00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:18.000
Angie and Jeff Phillips made this three dimensional model of the magnetic susceptibility that show the projected Lyon mountain granite dipping to off to the east underneath Lake Champlain in fact underneath the Paleozoic rocks into, into subterranean

231
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:25.000
Vermont. It's kind of a neat application of the of the air magnetic data.

232
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:39.000
Ryan Taylor has a paper that came out a couple years ago and he's got another one on the geochemistry of these deposits. Looking at the or the waste rock and the tailings show that the light rare, rare earth ratios in these rocks are relatively high and

233
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:58.000
they're more enriched than some other well known global resources such as boy an oboe and mountain pass the Oren waste show enrichment in Europe, Terbium UTM neodymium and a positive correlation between sorry im and rare earth elements, the airborne radio

234
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:11.000
metric equivalent thorium and uranium anomalies show large tailing files you can see these highlighted here these are some of these large scaling piles, and that the waste rock and the tailings are a potential resource.

235
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:23.000
So just in summary, we have rare that element potential exists at all iron minds, the bedrock characterization is very old and inadequate we're in the process of updating that significantly.

236
00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:28.000
New geophysical data are available LIDAR is here. Right, right.

237
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:41.000
The mines are not adequately located but we can find them now and that the waste rock and tailings are a potential resource, and just In conclusion I really want to acknowledge a large number of people are that are involved with this, this project.

238
00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:55.000
Specifically, the folks that UMass a number of students have worked with and Mike Williams, their advisor and number, number of other folks at the USGS and the funding from the USGS and the early work by Matt Walton in the area.

239
00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:00.000
So thank you very much and I'll take some questions now.

240
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:17.000
Thank you Greg, we have some time for questions. I have one question coming from the chat. What's IOA stands for iron oxide appetite, it is a is an end member of iron oxide copper, gold deposit.

241
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:28.000
It's a specific specific type of mineral deposit but the iron oxide is magnetite in this case and then appetite so these are magnetite appetite deposits.

242
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:46.000
And that's an acronym sorry we throw those acronyms out all the time. Honor oxide appetite is IOA have one more question. What was the previous unpublished detailed mapping of any use or they just have started to over.

243
00:42:46.000 --> 00:43:00.000
Oh, that's an excellent question. Matt Walton and john Rogers did some mapping in the area and their mapping was useful specifically for determining what destructive graffiti was in the area so they identified the major units the line mountain granite

244
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:03.000
and some of the parent ISIS.

245
00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:12.000
But some of the details in terms of where they actually mapped like where the outcrop locations were some of those pieces of information were not available.

246
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:26.000
And so, the maps were are available from the New York State Geological Survey if anybody's interested in in previous mapping in the Adirondacks that's not published I urge you to contact the New York State survey because they have a series of archive

247
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:36.000
manuscript. Open File reports that are publicly available upon request. You have to ask them specifically, but since they were never peer reviewed and published they're not.

248
00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:49.000
They're not available on their website so Matt Waltons maps have been very very useful and john Rogers as well so we we are not starting from ground zero we do have, we do have something to work on so they've been very helpful.

249
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:50.000
Thank you.

250
00:43:50.000 --> 00:44:08.000
One more question. How do you know the age of Neoproterozoic may think, oh, that's it, that's a good question, um, for the most part they're not very well constrained to Jeff Karen's le and Shawn reagan did a, a St Lawrence University field trip a couple

251
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:14.000
years ago and Jeff had dated one of these dikes I think he got about 640, ma.

252
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:32.000
Most of them are correlated with the, the age of drifting that's been dated in the, in the Tippett Hill volcanic sand volcanic sand in Canada and the volcanic that I worked on in Vermont that there are about 570 So somewhere between 640 and 570 is about

253
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:45.000
the age, but we've known for a long time it's very been very well demonstrated that the Neoproterozoic dikes are cut by the great unconformity, they don't actually pass up into the Potsdam so that we know that they're older than.

254
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:48.000
Then, then cambrin.

255
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:54.000
Well, thank you, Greg I think we're going to move on to the next. All right.

256
00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:58.000
If you can share your screen, I'm going to do that. Yes. All right.

257
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:11.000
Yep. Alright, our next speaker is Jeff Pollock, and his talk is on the tectonic inheritance in the North Atlantic consequence of episodic organic collapse.

258
00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:14.000
Jeff, it's your turn.

259
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:20.000
Okay, I'm trying to turn on my camera here.

260
00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:23.000
Okay, good morning.

261
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:25.000
Can you hear me.

262
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:32.000
Yes we can hear you but we can't see you can't see me okay.

263
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:37.000
It's not sharing.

264
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:44.000
We can see the screen, Jerry can see the screen so you know okay here we go.

265
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:59.000
Excellent. Okay, so I'm really kind of more of a large scale not a regional talk that we've seen from the first year but looking at North American the geology, North America, USGS map here.

266
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:08.000
The distinction between how North America is unique as a content there's no other continent. On Earth, that is like North America.

267
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:15.000
And it's not readily apparent from this map here but we see that uniqueness when we look at the age.

268
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:20.000
Separate rocks by age, and so that ranch in North America.

269
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:25.000
It consists of a core

270
00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:36.000
of our key and continents, that were welded together by protozoa origins. And what makes it unique is that surrounding the central core of the continent.

271
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:52.000
We have much younger origins which kind of formed this ring like structure, we don't see this anywhere else on earth. And these younger origins of course are several Wilson cycles and it's best demonstrated here in eastern North America where we move

272
00:46:52.000 --> 00:47:03.000
from the Precambrian superior the Mac of Vicki in the Grenville Ian and the the Appalachian origin that surround these surround the older core.

273
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:10.000
And it really represents. We're content riffed on old mountain belts, this was first demonstrated by Tuesday Wilson.

274
00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:22.000
50 years ago and his famous paper in nature, showing that new oceans will always open up, parallel to old organic belts and just figure here shows.

275
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:28.000
Wilson's now color diagrams, from these 1966 paper nature.

276
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:46.000
And, you know, the modern reconstruction in the ocean here from Pangea, and it's not surprising that mountains riffed on old or oceans riffed on old mountain belts because the old mountain belts have inherent weaknesses in them, they have old faults they

277
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:53.000
focus fluids. So they partition strange these zones of weakness.

278
00:47:53.000 --> 00:48:03.000
And we see in eastern North America from the two mountain belts, the Appalachians are a two sided mountain system, which shows us that the origin.

279
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:19.000
After it refers to form the Atlantic, it must have drifted outboard of the suture because we see exotic pieces of Africa gun wanna stuck on North America, where's the Grenville is a one sided orgy which means that it must have resulted in board of the

280
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:38.000
suture, but ultimately we see this you know this is part of Nancy and Murphy supercontinent cycle where we see this repeated riffing and mountain building occurring on the same location at the around the margins of the continent, and its really the concept

281
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:57.000
of tectonic inheritance, where we guide deformation along pre existing structural deformities nominally in the crust. And that inheritance takes two forms we can either reactivate old structures, which is usually controlled by the mechanics, mechanical

282
00:48:57.000 --> 00:49:10.000
properties of the structures which is compositionally controlled and that dominant in the crust, which we see here, and then deeper we get into more reworking, which you know example of metamorphosis.

283
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:23.000
Dr. Information recrystallization. These are dominated by the thermal history of the list of sphere. And we see that in the mantle and then that zone we get in between this transitional zone.

284
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:30.000
Really good example of this. You go to the Bay of Islands off the lake and you can see right at the motorhome.

285
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:40.000
There's an alga nice has these transposed fully Asians, and these these folds in the mountain top that have applicants and four and five kilometers.

286
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:55.000
So the question that comes out and we look at tectonic inheritances where's where's the construction, where is the structural control of this. Are they held in the crust or they held in the mental what is dominating and here it is what is focusing focusing

287
00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:58.000
this strain partitioning.

288
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:16.000
And as an example for tectonic inheritance or tectonic mimicry, we see that just in the shape of the origin continental margins are not straight but they take this zigzag shape and when we brought up just outcrop some Grenville crust, we see that the

289
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:32.000
old margin of the Neoproterozoic continent through here takes the shape, and it's parallel by the Appalachian origin and then again it's parallel by the modern Atlantic and this is Bill Thomas's reconstruction, showing that this tectonic mimicry is a

290
00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:44.000
result of transforms and riffs in new oceans that parallel transforms and reefs in old continents, old continental margins and old mountain goats.

291
00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:56.000
This is, you know, first recognized by Bill Thomas and his famous American journalist science paper where he talks about per month trees and reinsurance controlling the deposition of sentiments in the Appalachian origin.

292
00:50:56.000 --> 00:51:02.000
So we look in more detail, where I want to talk today in the Appalachians.

293
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:17.000
It is the type example of a mountain belt it's the most studied mountain belt in the world I think it's the best mountain belt, it's characterized by a series of Paleozoic accretions of arc terrains that culminated in a cotton cotton collision, and then

294
00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:28.000
subsequent Mesozoic drifting open up the Atlantic. But what's key about that Mrs o drifting is that the North Atlantic spreading access moves.

295
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:43.000
North the south, but it has this bifurcation that cross cuts the origin and opens up the Labrador see. And that's kind of unique and that's where I want to focus talking today on two real main structures in the Appalachians and the Grenville.

296
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:53.000
And these are the two most important features we zoomed in on the USGS map here. The Grenville structural front and the Dover fault.

297
00:51:53.000 --> 00:52:02.000
And the default is often overlooked but it is. I think the most important structure in the Appalachians especially in accretionary structure.

298
00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:04.000
So the Greenville front.

299
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:11.000
It's mostly, this is summarize work mostly Toby rivers and effort at and dares.

300
00:52:11.000 --> 00:52:23.000
It is the limit of the tectonically reworked Greenville it's kind of analogous to the Appalachian structural front. It extends all the way from Labrador from Ontario into the southwest and central us.

301
00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:29.000
It crosses older structural boundaries in the Canadian shield across the superior province.

302
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:45.000
And in eastern the Labrador on the coast, it's a three kilometer wide dr fault zone but what's unique about and then what's kind of odd is that is a very very abrupt metamorphic change and metamorphic fancies decreases to the northwest, so that we zoom

303
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:59.000
much deeper much higher grade metamorphic rocks, along the south of the Granville front that are then juxtaposed against all the rocks in the Canadian shields.

304
00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:02.000
And then looking at the Dover fault.

305
00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:22.000
This is the boundary between Gandy area and of a loja. And much like the Grenfell fault it juxtaposes essentially low grade Apollonian volcanic sequences against high grade nice and metamorphic rock critic rocks again Derrida through here.

306
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:36.000
It has multiple periods of motion, ranging from sinister all the extra little Obree motion in the salary and then the Devonian or its final displacement has an extension phase in the Mississippi.

307
00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:43.000
It has one of the world's classic stitching futons the actually granted at the 377.

308
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:48.000
But what's kind of interesting about the Dover faulty seismically.

309
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:58.000
It shows up, extremely well from Alyssa pro data. It is a vertical structure that penetrates rates through the mobo and into the entire lifted sphere.

310
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:12.000
And it projects offshore, we see this from both from a Lister pro beta, but from the oil exploration data we see offshore the Dover false. Again, sense, right to the edge of the Continental margin book penetrates, all the way through to the mobile it

311
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:12.000
is a major, major cross the boundary.

312
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:30.000
a major, major cross the boundary. So, when we extend both of these features offshore they are the major features from both of these origins, they line up very well with two features in the modern oceanic crust.

313
00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:39.000
The Grenville structural front lines with the current rate fracture zone and Dover false aligns with the Charlie gives fracture zone.

314
00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:55.000
So starting, let's look at the heart rate fracture zone. This is a fossil transform fault form from opening of the Labrador see essentially Greenland breaking off from the rest of North America, in the lake Cretaceous.

315
00:54:55.000 --> 00:55:13.000
It's restored using EUPOL rotations, and it continuous with the Julian odd fracture zone on the opposite side of the extinct reef down the Labrador See, but only look at the very edge for the current rate fracture zone comes ashore we see this expression

316
00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:29.000
morphologically on the margin call the current rate urge, and that is the C word extension of the Greenville front is a major change in morphology, but more importantly a very major change in the geophysical data and I'll show that on a map.

317
00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:35.000
In a second and then the other major oceanic feature is the Charlie gives for x zone.

318
00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:47.000
This is the largest fracture zone in North Atlantic. It extends all the way from the New Zealand margin to the Irish margin. It offsets the Ricky and his range, and the Mid Atlantic spreading rage.

319
00:55:47.000 --> 00:55:55.000
It's very similar to other long offset slow slick. So it's less than two centimeters per year transform faults.

320
00:55:55.000 --> 00:56:14.000
And it was first interpreted by Richard Howorth geophysicist with the gic to be the refund offsets from the opening of the Atlantic, and it extends right to the edge of the Continental American and correlates directly with the Dover fault at orphan know

321
00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:20.000
which is very similar morphologically to the current rate urge.

322
00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:35.000
So this is the GC map will receive that extension here the map of Canada the Dover falls extends offshore to the two more familiar with the edge of the margin and lines up with the child gets fracture zone, and then the Greenville front is co linear with

323
00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:51.000
with the current rate fracture zone and we see this in the geophysical data here, where the Charlie gives fracture zone extends to the oceanic offsets the magnetic anomalies comes on short at the orphan know and then extends right in here with the magnetic

324
00:56:51.000 --> 00:57:07.000
lows we see in Gandy area along the Dover fault and the Grandville structural front correlates with the current right arch this low negative anomaly here and then into the current radar, again we see that same magnetic offices.

325
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:25.000
So the question that comes in is are, you know, again, we want to get back to what is controlling the structure here. Is it the crust or is it the mantle and there's four observations, really that show it's not just Crossley derive the fabric and the

326
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:31.000
origins in this case is parallel to the direction of transform motion and see for spreading which is very unique.

327
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:50.000
We don't see any other pre existing faults reactivated in border the merging the transforms line up with the two major structures in both origins, but transforms do not extend out from old suture zones and either origin.

328
00:57:50.000 --> 00:58:05.000
So, the question really is is the rift in control, not in across the by the mantle, some sort of mental with a sphere of structure. And I think the observation that explains this best is organic collapse.

329
00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:20.000
Without summarizing. This is Toby rivers work from a paper in 2012, the gravel front records significant collapse of the hinterland he model this looking just like the Himalayan collapse but the origin develops this large organic plateau, that has core

330
00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:31.000
complex is doomed and very very well constrained to the earliest Neoproterozoic, and we see the same thing in the Appalachians on the Dover fault.

331
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:47.000
We see this rapid uplift in the Devonian on the Dover fault there's a inverted metamorphic gradients on the betas fault zone so is out of sequence rocks and green shoots look for group rocks in the hanging wall and fibula a beta Nord group rocks in the

332
00:58:47.000 --> 00:58:49.000
foot wall.

333
00:58:49.000 --> 00:59:05.000
Becky Jamison's work in the beaver peninsula shows the means by complex is an out of sequence Devonian core metamorphic core complex, we see uplift from the structure from the sedimentation the pools co formation shows this rapid uplift it's a mega boulder

334
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:20.000
conglomerate that contains gigantic boulders again Darien derived granites that are loaded onto Ghandi area and that unconformity is regional extends all the way off shore into the margin and is picked up in the drill wells off.

335
00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:21.000
Sure.

336
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:36.000
And then lastly, uplift in the Devonian, we see these very very high geothermal gradient these pure Auckland intrusions like the act and granted, and these massive land preferred dates along fortune bay for the longest time these gradients, the grants

337
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:49.000
were thought to be the cause of the gradient but I think it's the reverse it's the high gradient causes these intrusions. So we see evidence for a late, latest Devonian appellation collapse on the Dover fault, much like the Granville front.

338
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:54.000
So if the controlling mechanisms are in the crust.

339
00:59:54.000 --> 01:00:07.000
As is demonstrated in the Mozambique belt. The watch across in the US, and then East Greenland, all of these features here are thought to be structurally controlled in the crust,

340
01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:23.000
showing that reactivation from old structural weaknesses, and that's not unexpected because the crust is inherently weaker because it's the courts very mineral contains all the stress in the crust and it is weaker than the all of the rich metal.

341
01:00:23.000 --> 01:00:36.000
But along this case what we don't see here, one observation here is that none of these extension features in the cross, extend across into the ocean and show that here.

342
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:40.000
These two extension structures the lake novel grabbing is he.

343
01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:48.000
I happened in riff structure and then the funding base and it'll antic restructure showing that when the oceans riff they ripped over abroad zone.

344
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:58.000
And so that both of these structures, even though the funding grabbing is close to the Greenville front, they are tracking the cross, they do not extend into the ocean.

345
01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:10.000
So it's unlikely I think that crystal structures are controlling the tectonic inheritance and more recent work by Bill Thomas and Phil here and shows this.

346
01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:27.000
So Bill Thomas's work in the southern Appalachians says that the transfer vaults and across their inherited from the sheer zones in the mantle and Phil parents work in the southern US says that for old fossils subduction zones are held in the manual but

347
01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:39.000
in the Labrador see we don't see that because only cross the boundaries with organic collapse are involved in inheritance the old suture zones in the Appalachians and there's four of them.

348
01:01:39.000 --> 01:01:47.000
None of those are involved the reading the line the favorite line, the grub line the dog Bay line none of those are reactivated in the modern crust.

349
01:01:47.000 --> 01:02:02.000
So the importance i think is on the left is for Eric mantle, close to finishing here I know my time is almost up, because there's a lot of observations and organic collapse provides the mechanism, really to transfer gravitational potential energy from

350
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:19.000
the crust of the upper mental, so we replaced the week crust with strong ultra basic mental than the mental becomes the stress during part of the cross, and we induce a strain in the mantle, in all of it and we see this, both from seismic data but more

351
01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:35.000
importantly if you've been to the Bay of violence ofili, you see these mental tech tonight's that have this all been aligned orientation within them. And then here from the SKS measurements of share ways is Bill Thomas's reconstruction the southern US

352
01:02:35.000 --> 01:02:50.000
US showing that the fast direction and sky measurements is parallel to the structural trends in the vector plate of the North Atlantic and the vector direction of the North Atlantic plate, which he tributes to the Ori or orientation have all been in the

353
01:02:50.000 --> 01:03:07.000
mantle and just to finish. We, in the North Atlantic we see difference, ESKS measurements is not as many, but they are parallel to the structural trends which suggests that the mental fabrics developed during collapse or here who by the oceanic crust.

354
01:03:07.000 --> 01:03:18.000
And so to conclude that alignment of all faults and the modern transforms is not I think a coincidence. We don't reactivate all of these structures in the cross.

355
01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:33.000
It's only the two major ones that have evidence of collapse are reactivated and transferred from the mantle, to the upper layer of the oceanic little sphere.

356
01:03:33.000 --> 01:03:45.000
Ocean was determined by tectonic patterns in the medicine protozoa, and the Granville front. billion years ago determines what the modern Atlantic looks like.

357
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:55.000
And then just to finish some people. Thanks for comments on this, especially Toby rivers and Gene Hibbert. And I guess I'm over my time but I can take some questions.

358
01:03:55.000 --> 01:03:58.000
Thank you. Thank you, Jeff.

359
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:14.000
That was really interesting. Any questions for the Jeff, you don't have anything on chat box but you can raise your hand, or unmute yourself.

360
01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:24.000
See,

361
01:04:24.000 --> 01:04:27.000
Jeff. This is Craig. Yeah.

362
01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:40.000
Have you looked at any high resolution Digital Elevation models on on land to see if the modern fracture zones had that are in the ocean actually do extend into the continental crust on either side.

363
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:49.000
My guess is that, if you had LIDAR or at least, even some, some of the radar data that's available from the shuttle you might be able to see some of these.

364
01:04:49.000 --> 01:05:05.000
These fractures, showing up in the bedrock even though there might not be a whole lot of displacement they might show up in the bedrock. have you looked at those.

365
01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:12.000
off the localized margin is that you know the margin is mostly underwater when you get offshore from that.

366
01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:27.000
I haven't looked at because some of the data just doesn't exist, interesting though, after senior LIDAR talk, maybe take a look at some of the radar data that's publicly available I know it's sort of course but Shuttle Radar data.

367
01:05:27.000 --> 01:05:29.000
There is global.

368
01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:38.000
Digital Innovation models for the entire planet. It might be worthwhile to see you might get, you might see bigger structures that are sub parallel to these zones.

369
01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:41.000
Okay, thanks. Yeah.

370
01:05:41.000 --> 01:05:43.000
Thank you Greg Thank you, Jeff.

371
01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:59.000
The move on to the next talk, which is hundred million years of metamorphosis in western Maine to build in pull the metamorphic tie tonight by Jesse Walters, Alicia Cruz Europa john wounds on Joshua stone.

372
01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:04.000
Hannah Brooks and Kimberly Baylor and Jessica will deliver it from Germany.

373
01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:10.000
Thank you.

374
01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:24.000
Okay, thanks for the opportunity to speak today I'm going to be sharing a little bit about this project I worked on with one of my undergraduate students while I was a PhD student at the University of Maine.

375
01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:33.000
And we're going to see what tight night can reveal it to us about metamorphosis and main.

376
01:06:33.000 --> 01:06:39.000
So main is a classic example of Pauline metamorphosis.

377
01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:57.000
On the left is the updated metamorphic map of Maine from Charlie good Doughty 1985. So you've seen, I've shrank the Sebago futon appropriately and I've changed the extent of the big midnight terrain

378
01:06:57.000 --> 01:07:08.000
in the northwest the rocks are sub green just bases. And in the southwest, they are magnetites.

379
01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:28.000
So there's this large metamorphic gradient across the state, the widespread regional metamorphosis and defamation is thought to have occurred at 400, ma and fell sick pollutants and die crystallization ages range from 422 260 ma 420 being some of the

380
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:39.000
oldest stages of the coastal futons and 260 being the famous main Jim magnetites, although it seems from a.

381
01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:47.000
The later magnetic session that that age range should be expanded a bit. Having looked at some of the abstracts.

382
01:07:47.000 --> 01:08:06.000
So following this earlier Acadian metamorphosis at 400 ma there was a metamorphosis, and then Neo Acadian and Allegheny in. And this is thought to be post informational and largely driven by the intrusions and contact metamorphosis and pressures and addition

383
01:08:06.000 --> 01:08:10.000
to temperatures do vary and rocks across the state.

384
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:29.000
So, and the northern end of the Lexington futon here, the pressures are 235 mega Pascal's, and they increase to the south, just south of the Sebago futon there are varying metre political rocks and the pressures of those rocks are thought to be 550 to

385
01:08:29.000 --> 01:08:49.000
640 mega Pascal's my undergraduate and I collected samples of calc silicate rocks, just outside of Lewiston, Maine on the Andrew Scott and River. Here is the local geologic map this green unit here and the sub unit of the Sanger Ville formation is the

386
01:08:49.000 --> 01:09:03.000
calc silicate bearing sub unit and just below this and above it is the political unit. This is collected in this arm of this large northeast Southwest trending anti Klein.

387
01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:21.000
I would like to just warn everyone, you never know when Google is watching you. We went to this outcrop in this quarry only once, and that just so happened to be the day that there weren't any clouds and satellites were taking pictures, and you can see

388
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:31.000
that we are here looking at our maps on the hood of my truck, before we went to collect samples which was a little unnerving.

389
01:09:31.000 --> 01:09:45.000
So these rocks have mineral assemblages consistent with upper ma blight to learn regulate face use conditions shown on the left are some

390
01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:59.000
polarized light images and then we also have some backscatter electron images. These rocks have dioxide pleasure place and calcite along with tremble light and quiet so site, which are texturally late.

391
01:09:59.000 --> 01:10:14.000
The project place shows a wide range of textures and annotate contents from a an 82 and 20 so most of the range that you get in place, and the calcium affable the tremble it is replacing their upside.

392
01:10:14.000 --> 01:10:22.000
And the point is though site, often has Alan eight cores, and over print earlier dioxide.

393
01:10:22.000 --> 01:10:47.000
Tight nights and big place. This assemblage of the upside and calcite tight night is stable over a wide range of co2 conditions and occurs between 550 and 850 degrees Celsius, this upper temperature limit is the lower temperature limit of SCAP alight

394
01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:50.000
which is not observed in these rocks.

395
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:54.000
So we collected uranium lead.

396
01:10:54.000 --> 01:11:00.000
Tight night data by laser ablation industrially coupled mass spectrometry at the University of Maine.

397
01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:19.000
And I group these data into four domains or four populations based off of their textures and compositions. On the left is a terrible suburb diagram with the random lead ratio on the x axis, the lead, lead ratio on the y axis, And you can see the for ice

398
01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:24.000
icons that I have groups and calculated these ages from.

399
01:11:24.000 --> 01:11:39.000
There was one at 408 376 ma 342 Ma, and 300 and to me, the oldest domains these 400 ma domains are BSc dark Corps.

400
01:11:39.000 --> 01:11:57.000
Then there are BSc bright mantels which have 376 and 340 GMA. And then, the youngest domains are these BSc dark rims.

401
01:11:57.000 --> 01:12:19.000
These each have unique birth element patterns, and I've pulled out the analysis into these four groups on the y axis, this is the concentration of these elements in tight night normalize to a see icon right in the 400 ma domains.

402
01:12:19.000 --> 01:12:30.000
These have a slightly steeper middle to heavy birth, negative slope and a small Europium anomaly.

403
01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:46.000
The 376, ma domains, have a slightly less steep middle to heavier earth to almost no middle to have your earth slope, and also a small Europium anomaly.

404
01:12:46.000 --> 01:12:57.000
Now the 376 and 342 ma domains, these are both BSc bright and they looked extremely similar but they're chemically quite different.

405
01:12:57.000 --> 01:13:02.000
And these 342 ma domains, have no Europium anomaly.

406
01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:19.000
And these youngest rims, they have a relatively flat middle to heavy birth pattern, a quite large, European monopoly negative European monopoly and they have a depletion in the light rare earths.

407
01:13:19.000 --> 01:13:28.000
So I wanted to know what were the drivers of the trace element village variability and what can it tell us about the metamorphic history of these rocks.

408
01:13:28.000 --> 01:13:41.000
To begin, I noticed that the tight nine zones, exhibit increasing get run through time, and there's a large jump between these BSE dark cores, and the bright mantle domains between 400 and 376 ma.

409
01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:59.000
Now there's only a handful of minerals in these rocks that contain get them. One of them being kind of pyrrhic seen these two images here are from the program x map tools so these regenerated and quantified from FEMA X ray maps.

410
01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:08.000
The upper is a phase map, and we can see dioxide here is an orange, and these grains are highly fractured and then healed.

411
01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:23.000
We can see that the dioxide grains here are in filled by play filled spar, and then rims by kind of oversight in this map here which is the mall fraction of dioxide from 50 to 70%.

412
01:14:23.000 --> 01:14:43.000
These blue domains, which are were brutally fractured and represent the earliest phase of dioxide crystallization were higher in iron in aluminum and lower and magnesium, and then they were revealed by

413
01:14:43.000 --> 01:14:54.000
by more Diop Siddiq Plaza place. Sorry, more Diop CITIC quite a pure, clean, and possibly multiple generations of that.

414
01:14:54.000 --> 01:15:05.000
If we look at the atrium concentrations between the older dark side and the younger dioxide domains, we see that the older ones which are higher and aluminum are also higher in the atrium.

415
01:15:05.000 --> 01:15:27.000
And then there is a decrease to almost no yet.

416
01:15:27.000 --> 01:15:33.000
probably between these two metamorphic events.

417
01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:43.000
Then what about the light rare earth depletion well it's caused by the partitioning between this texture little late. Alan night, and quite associate with tight night.

418
01:15:43.000 --> 01:16:01.000
So, Alan night, having a light rare earth elements like Syria as a major constituents that the weight percent level, the partitioning of those elements is really strong between Elena and tight night, so it causes this rare earth, a lightweight earth element

419
01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:04.000
depletion.

420
01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:20.000
And the point is, is I was formed in response to the infiltration of hydro fluids. The earlier three metamorphic events occurred at a relatively elevated Exeo to conditions in this field here.

421
01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:41.000
And then the Hydra is fluid infiltrated formed coin so science Alan night and tremble lights, and we crossed over this Allen night plus calcite goes to a sorry, and worthless calcite goes to point a suicide reaction at an SEO to have less than 5%.

422
01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:44.000
And the temperatures remains quite hot.

423
01:16:44.000 --> 01:16:48.000
So if we actually look at the temperatures through time from the draconian and tight night thermometer.

424
01:16:48.000 --> 01:17:07.000
On this reveals that there were multiple high temperature events all spanning between 850 degrees to 750 degrees Celsius. We have the best constraints from this latest one, because that's the only one in which courts was stable and you have to have courts

425
01:17:07.000 --> 01:17:09.000
to use this thermometer.

426
01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:27.000
These earlier events these represent minimum temperatures, but given these rocks don't have satellites, and there was limited or no by a tight dehydration melting in the P lights, it's unlikely that these rocks were much hotter than this.

427
01:17:27.000 --> 01:17:41.000
So what are the implications of that then well there's two hypotheses. One is that you have 100 million years in which these rocks right 800 degrees Celsius, and then you just have periodic phases of mineral growth triggered by fluid pulses.

428
01:17:41.000 --> 01:18:00.000
I think it's unlikely that you have 800 degrees 400 million years in the mid crust and these rocks, it's inconsistent with the textural observations in p lights in the surrounding area which suggests you have multiple phases of pro grade and retrograde

429
01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:01.000
metamorphosis.

430
01:18:01.000 --> 01:18:08.000
So it's instead, more likely that these are four separate metamorphic events each followed by a cooling.

431
01:18:08.000 --> 01:18:15.000
So to conclude tight night may reliably record and preserve many phases of metamorphosis.

432
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:33.000
The trace element chemistry is a powerful tool, Patrick chronology, we were able to pick out brutal defamation and revealing of the quarter pyrrhic scene, and the change in the co2 content in response to an influx in Hydra fluids.

433
01:18:33.000 --> 01:18:35.000
And this lead.

434
01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:44.000
This study leads me to a few open questions we don't have any idea about how pressure might have changed over each phase of metamorphosis them, whether the crust was thickening at not would be really important to understanding the tectonics of the situation.

435
01:18:44.000 --> 01:18:54.000
Whether the crust was thickening or not would be really important to understanding the tectonics of the situation. It's not really clear what the heat sources for each phase was in this region.

436
01:18:54.000 --> 01:19:04.000
And it's not clear which of the phases would correspond to partial melting or all of them be given that there are such high temperature, and they're surrounding magnetite.

437
01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:19.000
And it's also not clear. Because the type of the the calc silicon don't really show much in the way of defamation textures, with the exception that brutal fracturing, which of these phases were accompanied by defamation.

438
01:19:19.000 --> 01:19:28.000
And with that, I'd like to thank everyone for listening and I would love to hear any thoughts and any questions about this study.

439
01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:45.000
Did you just see it was very interesting. You have your own questions that's also good spies remind everyone you can either raise your hands and ask your questions live or write in the chat box, which I have one question, but is there any evidence of

440
01:19:45.000 --> 01:20:00.000
brittle deformation in the nearby p lights, do you think it was a very local or potentially larger event that you might look entirely really crystallized.

441
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:04.000
In, and thin section.

442
01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:15.000
From what I see in their textures and their compositions of the minerals are really only see evidence of that 300 ma event.

443
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:23.000
I do see that there there is no Sullivan night in the matrix, but there's so many inclusions in Garnett.

444
01:20:23.000 --> 01:20:40.000
And we do see evidence that Soma night was replaced by Muscovite during this this last hydro this fluid infiltration which also affected the P lights, but we don't see much evidence, other than that for any of these earlier phases of defamation which

445
01:20:40.000 --> 01:20:45.000
the calc silicate seemed to preserve.

446
01:20:45.000 --> 01:20:46.000
Yeah.

447
01:20:46.000 --> 01:21:05.000
Any other questions, please, do we have some time actually just you have a question, this is my gray. Hi. One of the things I've wrestled with is the timing of the Neo Katie and Rodney literature seems to get fairly wide range of ages on that.

448
01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:09.000
And I'm interested to see that you had an age of about 340. Yeah.

449
01:21:09.000 --> 01:21:13.000
So you go with 372 and 340 300.

450
01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:32.000
Yeah. What's going on about 340, that seems young even for the New York area. I know I was surprised to get that age, and unfortunately you know there's no clear textures or anything to to really link that to any specific processes.

451
01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:38.000
And as far as I know, there's no.

452
01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:52.000
I don't know what the heat source of that is I actually don't know why there's no Europium anomaly, either. Which is quite mysterious because the plaid you place in these rocks have no Europium at all, which I was surprised at so that that is one of the

453
01:21:52.000 --> 01:22:05.000
things that keeps me up at night about this project and I'm sorry I don't actually have a good answer for you it's quite cryptic. How about the 300 billion year age is there other evidence of, I guess there is a button so Katie Allegheny and in the area.

454
01:22:05.000 --> 01:22:07.000
Yeah, yeah, there's others that are pretty young.

455
01:22:07.000 --> 01:22:10.000
So that it does.

456
01:22:10.000 --> 01:22:20.000
It does link up pretty well with with. I mean it overlaps in on with uncertainty of the ages of the Sebago futon.

457
01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:22.000
So that's, that's okay.

458
01:22:22.000 --> 01:22:24.000
Great, thank you. Yeah.

459
01:22:24.000 --> 01:22:28.000
So, questions.

460
01:22:28.000 --> 01:22:30.000
I have a question named Bob winch.

461
01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:31.000
Right.

462
01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:56.000
It looks like your, your assemblages are far from equilibrium with logic lasers, hardly zone, the fracture and fillings, all the minerals are zone so I wonder how you use the pseudo sections to it for PT conditions when

463
01:22:56.000 --> 01:23:10.000
you only use are chromium and tight in the, in the tight night to to get temperature and you haven't shown that serotonin was saturated.

464
01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:18.000
My bigger question is, how you you have cores, in this image that you just showed us. Thank you.

465
01:23:18.000 --> 01:23:31.000
Record that's 400 million but it looks like the by volume much more of the tight night is younger than that. Yeah. And so my question is, where was the titanium.

466
01:23:31.000 --> 01:23:35.000
Where was the rest of the titanium at 400 million.

467
01:23:35.000 --> 01:23:40.000
Where did it live, you talked about the rare earths but the big budget problem is titanium.

468
01:23:40.000 --> 01:23:43.000
Where was it before it was 15.

469
01:23:43.000 --> 01:23:59.000
Yeah, so we do see some titanium depletion, and the upside for example between those two phases but it's it's relatively small, most of this, and all the samples that I've looked at here and, and some of the work that I've done the Himalaya as well on

470
01:23:59.000 --> 01:24:09.000
tight night. Is that a lot of it is driven just by dissolution and re precipitation, you know cannibalism of the, the Titan night that was already there.

471
01:24:09.000 --> 01:24:15.000
And this sample doesn't show it nearly as well as one of the other ones.

472
01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:22.000
So it's, it's, yeah it's mostly just dissolution re precipitation and tight, tight, tight seems to be very susceptible to that.

473
01:24:22.000 --> 01:24:27.000
In terms of zircons saturation.

474
01:24:27.000 --> 01:24:40.000
There's these bright phases here, a lot of those are pure uptight but the bright phase here in the tight nights and and one of these here in the matrix is recon.

475
01:24:40.000 --> 01:24:47.000
And this is one of the only samples where we actually observed frequencies work on inclusions and tight night.

476
01:24:47.000 --> 01:24:55.000
So this is about as good as you could hope for or potential Zurich on tight night equilibrium.

477
01:24:55.000 --> 01:25:09.000
Also the, the pseudo what I showed earlier there was a Patrick genetic grids not pseudo sections and I shied away from doing any student sections of these rocks because the bulk rock is not an equilibrium.

478
01:25:09.000 --> 01:25:23.000
And there, that's also why that I placed the highest confidence on that last phase of

479
01:25:23.000 --> 01:25:32.000
tight night crystallization and that the earlier ones are really just possible minimum temperatures.

480
01:25:32.000 --> 01:25:41.000
So, one quick follow up like you're a was asking about two 340, can you go back to your terrible loss of bird please.

481
01:25:41.000 --> 01:26:03.000
Yeah. The, you really don't have much information on that cord for the three four to you have a few spots there a little way up the cord. And then you just run it up to seven six ratio that seems to, to be the average one but the confidence to, it seems

482
01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:13.000
on the 340 is much less than the 302, you have at least one analysis that matches up the cord.

483
01:26:13.000 --> 01:26:18.000
340 i think is the least robust.

484
01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:33.000
Yeah, so the, the, the common lead composition was actually measured and uranium four phases such as pelagic place and alkali felled spar and kind of pick seen.

485
01:26:33.000 --> 01:26:46.000
Also, there was a little bit of variability but that is propagated into the these ages. And I also compared that with the model.

486
01:26:46.000 --> 01:27:05.000
lead composition, and they gave identical ages and these, the common lead is so little in these compared to what we often see for tight night where we're at like 50% common lead that the contribution is quite small in terms of the uncertainty.

487
01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:15.000
So, even though there are only a handful of agents at 342 I'm actually quite confident that in them.

488
01:27:15.000 --> 01:27:18.000
Thank you. Alright thanks Jesse.

489
01:27:18.000 --> 01:27:32.000
We're gonna move on with a pre recorded presentation by Ian Hillenbrand Mike Williams and Microsoft of itch, and they're going to continue on this theme of Petra chronology.

490
01:27:32.000 --> 01:27:51.000
In the Appalachians. So I'm just going to hit play on Ian's presentation. And again, just want to remind everyone that we can continue to ask questions in the chat and during the break that's coming up in about 30 minutes

491
01:27:51.000 --> 01:27:54.000
up Hold on a sec.

492
01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:59.000
Can people hear

493
01:27:59.000 --> 01:28:06.000
my computer.

494
01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:08.000
I can hear your mouse clicks.

495
01:28:08.000 --> 01:28:18.000
When you said sharing there is an option for you to share volume as well so maybe you should unshared and start sharing again, and make sure that you select that option.

496
01:28:18.000 --> 01:28:24.000
Oh I got it here. All right, I think it's gonna work now.

497
01:28:24.000 --> 01:28:36.000
One of the great challenges for scientists is concerning the for scientists is concerning the tectonic incremental evolution of areas that have experienced multiple phases of mountain building.

498
01:28:36.000 --> 01:28:49.000
One example of this is the Appalachian Khaled night origin or multiple phases of Paleozoic mountain building. I recorded the forms that are created terrains, and Polydor formed and metamorphosed rocks.

499
01:28:49.000 --> 01:29:04.000
This is particularly true in southern New England, but the terrains are highly telescope at least four phases of mountain building are presently recognized the earliest event is the Ordovician to connect progeny associate the creation of the gun one and

500
01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:18.000
derived more town to me Laurentian margin. This was followed by the Syrian. So let me go Raj me a somewhat enigmatic event in New England, associate the creation of a gander terrain to compile a rancher, then.

501
01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:31.000
This was followed by the lead Syrian to Carboniferous Acadian Rodney associated with the creation of the Avalon, and Bakula terrains, and perhaps the formation of a high elevation organic plateau.

502
01:29:31.000 --> 01:29:47.000
And finally, there's the Carboniferous to Permian alligator progeny associate with the collision of adventure and Gondwana not final formation and Pangea affects the Allegheny and are largely recognized in southeastern most New England.

503
01:29:47.000 --> 01:30:03.000
This complex multistage history is reflected and equally complex array of tectonic elements in southern New England, notably the red line in this map, marks the interpreted suture between rock solid ranch and affinity to the west and included gone one

504
01:30:03.000 --> 01:30:06.000
and derived terrains to the east.

505
01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:15.000
Interestingly, this interpreted suture appears to follow the trend of a large offset and crystal thickness in Western New England.

506
01:30:15.000 --> 01:30:32.000
The crust things dramatically in Western New England. From 40 to 45 kilometers to as little as 30 kilometers over a short distance of 10 to 15 kilometers, leave it out, 2018 term this feature, the Mohawk step recent analysis of thermal project data suggests

507
01:30:32.000 --> 01:30:38.000
the areas of the west and east of the most experienced very different thermal histories, as well.

508
01:30:38.000 --> 01:30:46.000
Rocks the West Coast up in the record cooling to comic or Rodney well those to the east record cooling from the Acadian Rodney.

509
01:30:46.000 --> 01:30:55.000
Further, they suggested that this step formed during the collapse of an Acadian organic plateau named a Kayden on the piano.

510
01:30:55.000 --> 01:31:05.000
To better constrain the tectonic and cross evolution of how the New England and test hypotheses regarding the co host up and organic plateau.

511
01:31:05.000 --> 01:31:11.000
We integrated geo chronology, and geochemistry and method called Petra chronology.

512
01:31:11.000 --> 01:31:16.000
One important Petric project relationship is that between the element get trim.

513
01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:29.000
And then minerals and Manas like in Garnett is commonly interpreted and Manas I, it goes early metamorphose in Israel to being ripped and nutrient Howard and crystal thickening Garnet become stabilized and citizen matrix atrium sink.

514
01:31:29.000 --> 01:31:36.000
Hence, Manas a growing the presence of stable Garnett is often highly depleted, and the atrium.

515
01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:53.000
Then proportionate collapse. Garnet becomes unstable. During decompression or cooling, and releases get them to form thin rims on mana site and alternate scenario is when Xena time extreme phosphate Stiebel along with Manas a Garnet, there's somewhat

516
01:31:53.000 --> 01:32:06.000
more complex scenario, however, can help place additional constraints on the thermal evolution. Wednesday to time and stable, the atrium contents and monitors like become high temperature dependent, does that get from contents which can only increase

517
01:32:06.000 --> 01:32:15.000
as temperatures increased or incremental thickening further Garner become stabilized, Its YouTube content can be used as a thermometer, as well.

518
01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:23.000
When this is combined with the geo chronometer and Manas like Xena time, they become powerful thermo chronometer.

519
01:32:23.000 --> 01:32:33.000
The timing of gossip breakdown, can also be constrained by Xena time, which often forms halos around resort but Garner, identify these relationships, again train these reactions.

520
01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:42.000
We first begin by mapping the entire thing section, through this, we can identify monitor in Xena time in their life or structural context.

521
01:32:42.000 --> 01:32:48.000
After finding the grains. We then map them in detail, identify their internal zoning.

522
01:32:48.000 --> 01:33:03.000
We then date these zones or domains. He's in the chemical opera electron micro probe to maximize spatial resolution in this talk. These will be presented as internal data domains plotted against a compositional parameter, such as the atrium and Manas

523
01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:07.000
eight for the Terbium disclosing ratio of Xena time.

524
01:33:07.000 --> 01:33:15.000
We also investigate major phases, like Garnet, and what you can map and quantify major increased element zoning.

525
01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:30.000
Finally, we integrate these distinct data types to constrain the samples pressure, temperature time history. This can include major increase element Philip Brahma tree as well gives modeling of his own garnets further insights can be gained from modeling

526
01:33:30.000 --> 01:33:37.000
of major and trace phases, which together can be used to constrain the PT history.

527
01:33:37.000 --> 01:33:44.000
The absolute ages of this PT path can then be constrained with Manas light and Xena time Patrick ology.

528
01:33:44.000 --> 01:33:55.000
We applied these techniques to a suite of samples across southern New England crossing tectonic and structural boundaries. Individual samples analyzed, or one of the diamonds on the map.

529
01:33:55.000 --> 01:34:01.000
In this talk, the group the samples bays and tectonic and geologic histories.

530
01:34:01.000 --> 01:34:09.000
First start in the east central Massachusetts, and then work our way West and complicated and older rocks.

531
01:34:09.000 --> 01:34:24.000
The image of the right is a full section magnesium map a sample from the central Massachusetts metamorphic Hi, this sample contains both Manas late and Xena time, but they occupy distinct Microsoft domains Xena time, it's about an incarnate cores on Manas

532
01:34:24.000 --> 01:34:24.000
light is found in Garnet rims and the matrix.

533
01:34:24.000 --> 01:34:31.000
is found in Garnet rims and the matrix. Now, will tell us more in this Garnet, and the lower right.

534
01:34:31.000 --> 01:34:49.000
Detailed X ray maps, highlight complex zoning in this Garnet, The core is enriched and get trim and moderately mentioning calcium, the mantle is highly enriched in calcium and moderately enriched in nutrients and the rim is low and both calcium and get

535
01:34:49.000 --> 01:35:04.000
them over Rama tree, and modeling, along with existing studies suggest an overall counterclockwise path. We've released suggest a looping style of path, followed by ice and Barrett cooling

536
01:35:04.000 --> 01:35:20.000
Manas light from this area are systematically zone with high gear dream corps logo tree mantels, and higher trim rims, these colors remains correspond distinct ranges of dates pipe dream Corps, and I on the order three eight and they are older, low nutrient

537
01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:37.000
mantels on the order 372 340 million years old, and higher chat rooms are 339 years old or younger, we interpret the high atrium cores grew before Garnet, while the logo to him mantels could remain stable Garnett, and finally rims, could drink on a breakdown.

538
01:35:37.000 --> 01:35:47.000
This interpretation is supported by the dates of Xena time incarnate corps as your time on fractures, that form drunk on a breakdown.

539
01:35:47.000 --> 01:35:58.000
From the status that have interpreted pressure and temperature time histories. Throughout the talk, temperature time history, especially on the top panel, well pressure time history is will be shown below.

540
01:35:58.000 --> 01:36:13.000
Now, let's move west to look at the rocks of the Pelham dome, a large double structure in North Central Massachusetts, we examine two samples from all locality describe that Peter Robinson, one sample preserves and simulate k felt spar assemblage typical

541
01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:15.000
the Katie and metamorphic Hi.

542
01:36:15.000 --> 01:36:27.000
One other sample records, a leak kinda over print associated with dome formation is still my apparent sample has a very similar PT history to that of the central Massachusetts metamorphic high.

543
01:36:27.000 --> 01:36:42.000
In contrast, the kind of bearing sample large records decompression Patrick on a logic analysis of a nightmare and sample facilitated by abundance of models like inclusions and Garnett Chi night and store like.

544
01:36:42.000 --> 01:36:52.000
Together, these tightly constrained record of loading, and then rapid explanation. Between round 310 and 289 years ago.

545
01:36:52.000 --> 01:37:06.000
Now, let's continue pushing further west and examine rocks of the Amherst block. Pete Robinson interpret the embers block to represent a down drop block, preserving higher Acadian crystal levels, not observed elsewhere in central Massachusetts them a

546
01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:23.000
Brahma tree supports this hypothesis has calculated pressures are lower than those from Central Massachusetts, although they suggest a complicated PT history, this complexity is further suggested by wild spectacular zoning and Manas like and Xena time

547
01:37:23.000 --> 01:37:32.000
Manas IDs correspond to both the Aquino progeny 400 years ago, as well as the new Acadian phase around 360 million years ago.

548
01:37:32.000 --> 01:37:40.000
And you go to thermo Brahma tree and geo chronology test and initial pressure, temperature high or on forward, ma felt like rapid cooling and decompression.

549
01:37:40.000 --> 01:37:47.000
This was followed by a second period of loading thermal high around a million years ago, fall by very slow cooling.

550
01:37:47.000 --> 01:38:03.000
Now, let's continue pushing West into the rocks of Western Connecticut, but your interpreted experience both Peconic and Acadian protectionism consistent with this hypothesis garnets from Western Connecticut, nice stoves, and a cover sequence, Connecticut

551
01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:09.000
Valley belt to complex zoning, both in major and trace elements.

552
01:38:09.000 --> 01:38:25.000
These rocks who evidence for early event in the lower end public face she's probably a subsequent event at higher PT conditions. Note at the increase in pressures from quarter cover rocks increases with structural level Manas in Xena time also show complex

553
01:38:25.000 --> 01:38:29.000
zoning suggesting multiple days of Garner growth and breakdown.

554
01:38:29.000 --> 01:38:44.000
Our results, just an early event, picking on 450 to four and 40 million years ago, after this metamorphic peak, the rock experience at two stage cooling history, rapid and then slow cooling the rocks then experience second metamorphic high around 382 360

555
01:38:44.000 --> 01:38:51.000
million years ago, followed by slow cooling. all rock to Evan for garment breakdown around 340 million years ago.

556
01:38:51.000 --> 01:39:02.000
Interestingly, the rocks that formed the mantle and rim of the Knights of the washing Connecticut record distinctly different PT pass on the Connecticut Valley belt and the quarter the nice stones.

557
01:39:02.000 --> 01:39:14.000
The sweetheart mountain, member of the Collinsville foundation mantels and number of Washington again nice stones records high pressure conditions of up to 16, to 18 kilowatt hours at temperatures of 750 to 100 degrees Celsius.

558
01:39:14.000 --> 01:39:23.000
Before we are collaboration in the mid crust. The streets chest, which remains many nice terms in Western New England also has a distinct PT history.

559
01:39:23.000 --> 01:39:32.000
Peak conditions are approximately 10 to 11 kilowatt hours, and 700 degrees Celsius. Interestingly, both these units show evidence for only single metamorphic event.

560
01:39:32.000 --> 01:39:47.000
In contrast, the overlying underlying units interpreted pressure, temperature and time temperature paths are shown here, for these two units. Interestingly, these paths to not converse with those are the nice stones, until around 380 375 million years

561
01:39:47.000 --> 01:39:48.000
ago.

562
01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:58.000
Finally, let's hop across the Mohawk step and examine rocks at a comic belt, where a classic Peruvian metamorphic sequence is preserved.

563
01:39:58.000 --> 01:40:12.000
These rocks are interpreted to have only been metamorphosed and the motivation to conquer Rajini bus, they present interesting contrast but Polly metamorphic rocks, a Western Connecticut, and can therefore be used to contrast thermals and tectonic histories

564
01:40:12.000 --> 01:40:19.000
across the mobo step, be observed a dominant population of Manas I can for 40 and four and 29 years ago.

565
01:40:19.000 --> 01:40:35.000
The single low your trimaran is around three guiding Ma, I think of a low temperature Manas I growth femoral grounders just slow cooling after the 440 metamorphic peak, with an increase in the cooling rate between 390 and 369 years ago.

566
01:40:35.000 --> 01:40:48.000
Now, let's compare PTT path to the New England, along with Joe chemically derived crystal thickness proxies to evaluate and constrain the crystal tectonic evolution of this area.

567
01:40:48.000 --> 01:40:57.000
The oldest event in Western New England. Is that a conical Rajini so through the collision of a more countering Florencia around for 25 million years ago.

568
01:40:57.000 --> 01:41:12.000
Interestingly, minimal Garnet growth is observed from form 25, ma, the major paid of current growth and crystal thickening postdates timing of collision by 20 to 30 million years to explain this, you consider several scenarios.

569
01:41:12.000 --> 01:41:25.000
One possibility is that the collision between more tunnel Rancho, the soft, or strike slip and did not result in significant Garnet growth. Alternatively, it may have taken 10s of millions of years for Hugin metamorphosis to occur as it as it by some

570
01:41:25.000 --> 01:41:27.000
thermal models.

571
01:41:27.000 --> 01:41:42.000
Another possible explanation considers the effect of seduction polarity reversal an episode of flat slab Indian or learn mind style subduction could lead to Crystal thickening in southern New England could explain the sweeping of magnetism westward into

572
01:41:42.000 --> 01:41:52.000
Western Connecticut. At this time, however, it this model is correct, it may be spatially limited as similar crystal thickening and magnetism are not observed in Massachusetts or New Hampshire.

573
01:41:52.000 --> 01:42:07.000
This could be explained by differences in the depth of the subducting slab along strike. However, this could require a slab tear. Interestingly, a slab tear could explain the alcohol and magnetism, of the Cortland beam Ravel belt in such a position against

574
01:42:07.000 --> 01:42:10.000
Louisville calc alkaline raw in western Connecticut.

575
01:42:10.000 --> 01:42:23.000
A final possibility for this event that it represents crystal thickening associate the creation of the game returning the Salonika Rajini after this colossal thickening episode, we can see a two stage cooling history in Western New England with the rapid

576
01:42:23.000 --> 01:42:29.000
cooling likely examine these rocks the mid crust, where the rocks called very slowly.

577
01:42:29.000 --> 01:42:38.000
However, the tectonic belt has evidence for very slow cooling and very distinct thermal history, beginning around 430 million years ago.

578
01:42:38.000 --> 01:42:54.000
Next, we can see the rocks New England show evidence from major crystal thickening episode, 400 and 389 years ago associated with the occasion or progeny this crystal thickening event is observed and all rocks, East at the Mohawk step further.

579
01:42:54.000 --> 01:43:06.000
After the cross picking this region, it stayed thick for 40 to 50 million years, supporting the hypothesis of a long lived organic plateau in southern New England, we speculate.

580
01:43:06.000 --> 01:43:20.000
The slightly higher initial pressures and slightly faster cooling rates in western Connecticut, any record structural siding and these rocks and then retro wedge, the origin, as opposed to the order NET Core of Central Massachusetts.

581
01:43:20.000 --> 01:43:33.000
hours east of the mo host our present evidence for a major appear on Garnet breakdown at 340 330 million years ago, interpret a current breakdown, or cards or tenant collapse of a cadence Altiplano.

582
01:43:33.000 --> 01:43:47.000
It's in this period around 322 300 million years ago that we see thermal histories of rocks at the West and East Nemo host up converge. This suggests that rocks, a West and East them all hooked up for juxtaposed at this time.

583
01:43:47.000 --> 01:43:53.000
This suggests that the Mohawk Step. Research present state, and the collapse of the Kayden Altiplano.

584
01:43:53.000 --> 01:44:10.000
Finally we see evidence for rapid reloading, and then unloading the Pelham dome printer 20, and Twitter 18 million years ago, this timing suggested association with the Allegheny progeny, or perhaps complicated stages of Pato collapse.

585
01:44:10.000 --> 01:44:23.000
However, this must have been a very localized event planning question about the tectonic siding and much that occurred in this talk, we've shown that monetarily and Xena time are powerful Patrick nanometers, that can turn the pressure, temperature time

586
01:44:23.000 --> 01:44:27.000
paths across distinct tectonic domains.

587
01:44:27.000 --> 01:44:31.000
Thank you.

588
01:44:31.000 --> 01:44:44.000
All right, so, um, thanks again for presenting that we are running short on time a little bit.

589
01:44:44.000 --> 01:44:59.000
And so, actually we have, like, a minute so actually does anyone have a question for end.

590
01:44:59.000 --> 01:45:01.000
All right.

591
01:45:01.000 --> 01:45:04.000
Oh, Allie, yes.

592
01:45:04.000 --> 01:45:15.000
I'll just ask this quickly and maybe we can chat more about at the break, I was just a little curious and how you were able to constrain those like multiple looped PT path I thought that was really cool but I'd like to know a little bit more about like

593
01:45:15.000 --> 01:45:34.000
I guess yeah how you're able to actually do that for sure yeah so it's a mix of really great zone garnets, and then integrating that with a monolithic record and, and the cricket trace element from from from modeling Sophie Garnett is really a big get

594
01:45:34.000 --> 01:45:51.000
rid of sync. And that pop like for example of the abundance of Garnet, I think most of Garnet on their highly pressure dependent. So if you're crossing that path you'd like to be consuming a lot of Garnet and creating retrograde product that we see the

595
01:45:51.000 --> 01:45:55.000
reactions and break down reactions to monetize Xena time.

596
01:45:55.000 --> 01:46:06.000
So it's a matter of integrating both everything from the Garnet to them about the trees phases and bring back together to interpret the bat bat and if we're going to talk about in more detail.

597
01:46:06.000 --> 01:46:10.000
I'm happy to actually do that at a later point.

598
01:46:10.000 --> 01:46:13.000
And there's more. Thank you.

599
01:46:13.000 --> 01:46:19.000
Yeah, thanks to you and again for the wonderful,

600
01:46:19.000 --> 01:46:22.000
where we have a break.

601
01:46:22.000 --> 01:46:24.000
Sorry, Bob.

602
01:46:24.000 --> 01:46:33.000
We have a break after the next talk so for if you have questions for in. I encourage you to ask them during the break.

603
01:46:33.000 --> 01:46:50.000
So coming up next is Eliza Folsom and Leia is going to be telling us about the geology geo chronology and tectonic history of the Bronson Hill belt in northern New Hampshire so lies if you want to share your screen and take it away.

604
01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:52.000
Go ahead.

605
01:46:52.000 --> 01:47:12.000
Yeah, thank you. So today I'll be talking about my year long senior thesis project on the bedrock geology geology and tectonic history of the Bronson Hill antiquorum in northern New Hampshire, which I completed as part of the USGS and New Hampshire Geological

606
01:47:12.000 --> 01:47:22.000
Survey state map program. And this project is definitely still in progress, I'm still working on my conclusions, but I'll be done with it. By the end of May.

607
01:47:22.000 --> 01:47:31.000
So, in this talk, I'll start by introducing the Boston Hill into Canaria and its relationship to the greater Appalachians.

608
01:47:31.000 --> 01:47:47.000
Then I'll talk about some previous mapping of the Berlin, seven and a half minute quadrangle. And then following that, I'll show the bedrock geologic map that I created using data collected this past summer, and then also discuss it's relevant units,

609
01:47:47.000 --> 01:48:00.000
and then talk about the phases of defamation that are relevant to the study area before talking about the igneous and two titles are con gu chronology, that I completed for three samples found in the study area.

610
01:48:00.000 --> 01:48:06.000
And then finally all really my work to previous work.

611
01:48:06.000 --> 01:48:20.000
So, this project intends to study the Bronson Hill and tomorrow, as part of the Berlin set and a half minute quadrangle in northern New Hampshire, using bedrock mapping structural analysis and geo chronological techniques.

612
01:48:20.000 --> 01:48:29.000
And these methods will help us to understand the spatial distribution and contact relations of the rocks, and then defamation history.

613
01:48:29.000 --> 01:48:44.000
In the Bronson Hill antiquarian as, and then related to the greater Appalachians. And this. Additionally, the study area includes part of the Central Maine belt, along with the north eastern end of the largest have many all Varian domes including the

614
01:48:44.000 --> 01:49:01.000
backlit, and it's man telling me music mechanics. And this study is important because no detailed mapping of the area exists, and there's little igneous gu chronology, completed in the area in general and no to title analyses on the shamanistic volcanic,

615
01:49:01.000 --> 01:49:08.000
which are prevalent unit in the study area.

616
01:49:08.000 --> 01:49:24.000
So, the Boston Hill and Canaria is thought to be a series of volcanic arcs that erupted along a plate boundary during the Ordovician. And then after erupting the volcanic accreted to Lorenza during the two car garage and Bronson Hill and decorum is made

617
01:49:24.000 --> 01:49:41.000
of the about 470 million year old eMusic volcanic that formed on the quantum side of the apparatus and the about 450 million year old all variant photonic sweet rocks that formed after the volcanic, and then intruded into them in the form of the Jefferson

618
01:49:41.000 --> 01:49:42.000
backlit.

619
01:49:42.000 --> 01:49:56.000
So Caribbean's at all and 20 in 2017 and Dora, all in 2012, believe that the Oliver include tonics feet rocks were abduction abducted and then subduction polarity flipped.

620
01:49:56.000 --> 01:50:14.000
To the west which created a continental arc, as seen in these two figures and Caribbean house at all determined that the reversal and seduction clarity occurred between 40 and 66 and 455 million years ago, and that this reversal resulted in a West dipping

621
01:50:14.000 --> 01:50:20.000
seductions down under both the Russia and the more town terrain that have recently created to it.

622
01:50:20.000 --> 01:50:37.000
And then they also suggest that many for 955 to 440 million year old magnetic arc rocks in the Bronson Hill Ark formed above the subduction zone, and that arc itself formed along the eastern edge of the mortality rate.

623
01:50:37.000 --> 01:50:51.000
that the domes that formed when the all green platonic suites and treated the shamanistic volcanic are found in the core of the Boston Hill antiquorum, which suggests that the amnesty for Catholics were thrust westward over the lunch and margin.

624
01:50:51.000 --> 01:51:04.000
So that launched and basement rock sit under the Bronson Hill and to Canaria, then we have another model by Valley at all from 2020 with which suggested the flip in polarity.

625
01:51:04.000 --> 01:51:15.000
That was suggested by carabiners and Dre might not actually be necessary since to contact information, was found to be 10 to 15 million years younger in certain places than what was originally thought.

626
01:51:15.000 --> 01:51:32.000
So instead, Valley at all suggest that the Bronson Hill antiquorum is part of one long lived composite Arc System, and that it shows a continuum of ages rather than two separate arcs which carabiners or up the shell born in France and Hill.

627
01:51:32.000 --> 01:51:48.000
So now getting into some previous mapping of the area. The area has been mapped several times but never in detail. It was first mapped or the Brooklyn seven half minute quadrangle was first map as part of the Gorham 15 minute quadrangle which is this

628
01:51:48.000 --> 01:51:53.000
larger map the Berlin, seven and a half minute quad is this northern half.

629
01:51:53.000 --> 01:52:02.000
But it was first mapped by Billings and Fowler Billings throughout the 1940s and 50s, and they then publish their map in 1975.

630
01:52:02.000 --> 01:52:19.000
Following that, the same area was mapped by Mitch at all in 1996, as part of a bedrock map that stretched from Sherbrooke Quebec to Lewiston, Maine. And as you can see image changed some of this part of the map which is the Central Maine belt from Billings

631
01:52:19.000 --> 01:52:24.000
this map mentioned at all then map the area again in 1999.

632
01:52:24.000 --> 01:52:40.000
And additionally, the Mount Washington Jefferson and the mount Crescent seven half minute quadrangles that lie adjacent to the Berlin quadrangle have been mapped in detail by used in in 2010 Baker in 2016 used it in 2017 and neither in 2018.

633
01:52:40.000 --> 01:52:54.000
And then, as you can see on the, or I'll show you on these maps so these, this line here on the Billings map and here on the mesh map is the McKusick fault, which separates the Bronson Hill and to connect them to the west and the Central Maine belt to

634
01:52:54.000 --> 01:53:07.000
the east. And then in the Billings map this orange color is all very include tonic sweet, the green is the shamanistic volcanic, and the yellow unit is the solar hand Perry mountain formation of the Central Maine belt.

635
01:53:07.000 --> 01:53:23.000
And then in the Manage map. The light brown is all around photonic sweet the dark brown is the m&e sick volcanic, and this blue part was mapped as little information which is just part of the Central Maine stratigraphy.

636
01:53:23.000 --> 01:53:40.000
So now moving on to the map that I created based on data collected this past summer by me deck used in, Tommy shields and Peter Galloway and died recently and for me that my legend is backwards but I'll get there by the end of May.

637
01:53:40.000 --> 01:53:54.000
So, going and getting into the unit. The first one I'll talk about is the Ordovician and when you say volcanic or Om. And this unit was found in the center and the south of the study area to the west of them who's at fault in the process and hell and

638
01:53:54.000 --> 01:54:12.000
area. And we saw in 52 different outcrops and it shown on the map in purple. And this unit was dark green color, as you can see this picture, can be found on its own in many outcrops but also as in the form of intrusion into the automation all green biotech

639
01:54:12.000 --> 01:54:16.000
or an aunt or OBG which I'll talk about in the next slide.

640
01:54:16.000 --> 01:54:21.000
So OEM has several different variations that we saw in the field.

641
01:54:21.000 --> 01:54:36.000
That will go through the first was a my acacias court site that we called OMQ. We found this unit in three outcrops in the north of the study area. And this unit had never been seen before in the southern half of the quad that was mapped last summer,

642
01:54:36.000 --> 01:54:38.000
or in any of the surrounding quads.

643
01:54:38.000 --> 01:54:42.000
And this unit is gray and finding medium grain and texture.

644
01:54:42.000 --> 01:54:48.000
Then another variation of OEM was a conglomerate that called AMC.

645
01:54:48.000 --> 01:54:56.000
We found this unit six different outcrops in the northwest of the study area, and it's shown in hot pink on the map.

646
01:54:56.000 --> 01:55:02.000
Oh EMC is dark gray like OEM but it has white and like great class and.

647
01:55:02.000 --> 01:55:08.000
And then another variation is OMF, which is a fell sick variation of Om.

648
01:55:08.000 --> 01:55:14.000
We found it at 12 different outcrops in the center of the study area. And this was also a new unit.

649
01:55:14.000 --> 01:55:19.000
And it's white and pale orange in color and shown on the map in blue.

650
01:55:19.000 --> 01:55:37.000
Then a rusty variation of a lamb was found at 25 outcrops in the north and the south of the study area. And this unit was seen and always seen in contact with oh I am in a red dark brown, red, and a dark red brown color, and it shown on the map and brown.

651
01:55:37.000 --> 01:55:48.000
And then finally, the last variation of OEM was a CT site or granite fells with magnetite and amicable, which we call it OMDQ for dark cord site.

652
01:55:48.000 --> 01:55:55.000
We, it was dark gray and color and medium green at texture and it's this light pink unit on the map.

653
01:55:55.000 --> 01:56:01.000
So now getting into the Jefferson bath with or the hologram Teutonic sweet units.

654
01:56:01.000 --> 01:56:15.000
So the most prevalent unit or the most prevalent rock in the study area was the automation all very invited tight granite, or OBG, which you found in 90 outcrops in the northern and central parts of the study area.

655
01:56:15.000 --> 01:56:30.000
And this unit is light and light and dark gray and color, and is finding medium grain and texture and is this light blue unit on the map. And then the second most prevalent unit in the study area was the Ordovician all Varian biotech field spar granite

656
01:56:30.000 --> 01:56:40.000
or OBKG, which was pink, pink grey and color with medium to coarse grained textures and it's this dark green color on the map.

657
01:56:40.000 --> 01:56:54.000
And then, as I mentioned before, we also saw a lot of OBG with OMZ analysts, as OBG intruded into om before the before the two were folded as the m&e see volcanic for thrust westward over the Laurentian margin.

658
01:56:54.000 --> 01:57:03.000
And in this photo on the bottom right you can see the lighter unit as OBG and the darker unit as the OMZ analyst.

659
01:57:03.000 --> 01:57:09.000
So now moving on to the sequence of defamation seen in the study area.

660
01:57:09.000 --> 01:57:21.000
So the first phase of defamation began with the normal McKusick fault juxtaposing the Bronx and hell antiquorum and the central main belt, as the Acadian organic front moved Northwest.

661
01:57:21.000 --> 01:57:38.000
And this was followed by D one folding in the early Acadian Rodney that consisted of Ne, ne really trending ISO carnal folds of s zero bedding and layering with strong as one fully Asians and less common a one linear nations.

662
01:57:38.000 --> 01:57:47.000
And those were seen in both the Bronx and hell and to Korea, and the central main belt. And then during the Stephen folding them who's at fault was folded I sequentially.

663
01:57:47.000 --> 01:57:56.000
So falling that we have DTD to folding in the mid Devonian late Acadian Rajini, and these folds were.

664
01:57:56.000 --> 01:58:13.000
And this, and due to falling was characterized by open and again ne trending folds with a week or non existent as to axial planar cleavage that deformed the s one and SEO fabrics, in the Bronson Hill and Gloria, and the central main belt.

665
01:58:13.000 --> 01:58:30.000
Following that, doping occurred in the weight Devonian Neo Acadian Rodney, and this is visible as a change in s one and zero re don't dip from northwest to southeast which effectively reverses the dip, of the moose at fault.

666
01:58:30.000 --> 01:58:43.000
And then after that finally is northeast breaking your vertical specified zones resulted from late Mesozoic Mesozoic brittle normal faults. So in this picture here on the left of the D one folds.

667
01:58:43.000 --> 01:58:54.000
We can see OBGNOIM shown with an ISIS final fold, with an axial plane full Asian us one. And then, In this picture here.

668
01:58:54.000 --> 01:58:59.000
We see OBG and Oh am again as a D to open fold.

669
01:58:59.000 --> 01:59:08.000
And then the stereo net here shows the ivector value of three is original fold hinge line trending northeast.

670
01:59:08.000 --> 01:59:12.000
So, moving on to the chronology part of my thesis.

671
01:59:12.000 --> 01:59:30.000
So I'll do chronology work was completed at the Arizona laser current center. During this past December and remotely. And so three so three samples were sent to the lab, including the fell sick OMF CT site OMQ and dark work site OMDQ because those three

672
01:59:30.000 --> 01:59:44.000
samples had never been seen before in the field in the southern half of the quad or the surrounding quadrangles. And it's important to determine the ages of all of the varieties of ammunition for Catholics in order to stand, understand the exact sequence

673
01:59:44.000 --> 02:00:01.000
of formation and defamation events. So the sample OMF is a fell sick meta tough with zircons containing facilitated zoning. And so I filtered out the extremely discord and samples with a 20% discord and filter, and then also constraint it between ages

674
02:00:01.000 --> 02:00:13.000
442 40 and 60 million years based on the peak of this population density plot. And then this resulted in an age of 1452 plus or minus 8 million years.

675
02:00:13.000 --> 02:00:15.000
Then the next sample.

676
02:00:15.000 --> 02:00:29.000
The OMQ, the courtside sample, which is a sedimentary volcanic plastic unit. We wanted to get its maximum depth positional age, as well as it's trained fingerprint in order to correlate it to one of the trends.

677
02:00:29.000 --> 02:00:42.000
So the sample is filtered for 30% discordance with ages, from four between the ages of four and 50 to four and 80 million years, also based on the peak of the population density plot.

678
02:00:42.000 --> 02:00:48.000
And then this resulted in an age of 465 plus or minus 6 million years.

679
02:00:48.000 --> 02:01:03.000
So, the data from the Arizona laser comm center produced a unit total population density plot as you can see here, which means that the zircons that make up this sediment were derived from about 460 million year old are crocs without any old basement

680
02:01:03.000 --> 02:01:12.000
signatures. And that is different from the dark court site sample OMDQ, which is another sedimentary volcanic plastic unit.

681
02:01:12.000 --> 02:01:23.000
And so we were unable to get a maximum depth as a channel age for the sample because of the large amounts of appetite and magnetite and the few amounts of zircons.

682
02:01:23.000 --> 02:01:38.000
However, this sample does allow us to see some interesting terrain fingerprints, with more basement type orders or cons, as opposed to the unit model arc signature of OMQ.

683
02:01:38.000 --> 02:01:44.000
So now we're leading to my work to some previous and also current work.

684
02:01:44.000 --> 02:01:59.000
So my advisor diet used in and also in Hillenbrand have been looking at the same samples as I have, and also samples from the hologram Pathak suite, including OOBGNOBKG, as you can see in the finger on the left, and their work with the hologram platonic

685
02:01:59.000 --> 02:02:06.000
platonic sweet confirms that the units are about 10 to 20 million years younger than I am.

686
02:02:06.000 --> 02:02:23.000
And then they also looked at the same OMDQ and OMQ samples, as I did, and they believe that they show really different sources with OMDQ having more basement related zircons and OMQ being more arc sorcerer cons, and so this figure on the right is a way

687
02:02:23.000 --> 02:02:36.000
to show the different samples based on their source with the sample here in the Arctic dominated source section, being OMQ and then OMDQ being here.

688
02:02:36.000 --> 02:02:48.000
And so this is showing that how the source change between OMQ and OUOMDQ, even within the timeframe of the shamanistic volcanic so I went from an arc source to a basement dominated source.

689
02:02:48.000 --> 02:03:05.000
And then also, Valley at all the ages that valley at all found in their 2020 paper, or the ages for the fall sick meta tough that they talked about our within air of the ages that I found for the OMF sample.

690
02:03:05.000 --> 02:03:18.000
And then my ages also fill out previously unknown Avenue six volcanic ages, while also fitting in with the known ages from Valley.

691
02:03:18.000 --> 02:03:35.000
So from my study so far, bedrock mapping of the Bronson Hill and consortium has revealed that the platonic rocks within the Ordovician all very improved tonic sweet or has revealed rocks within the automation hologram protonix feed and also several variations

692
02:03:35.000 --> 02:03:39.000
of the Ordovician m&e sick volcanic.

693
02:03:39.000 --> 02:03:49.000
Which leads us to believe that the MA civil clinics were interested by then to formed with all very include tonic sweet rocks, then.

694
02:03:49.000 --> 02:03:52.000
Yes, sir. On June chronology.

695
02:03:52.000 --> 02:04:10.000
For sample OMF gave us an age of foreign 52 plus or minus 8 million years. While the titles are kanji of chronology.

696
02:04:10.000 --> 02:04:26.000
sources. And then do titles or come to your chronology for sample OMDQ reveals train fingerprints and also shows is that the orders are cons are likely from basement rocks.

697
02:04:26.000 --> 02:04:34.000
So then finally from this we can understand that the source regions for the MDC volcanic has changed over time.

698
02:04:34.000 --> 02:04:36.000
Thank you.

699
02:04:36.000 --> 02:04:43.000
Alright, thanks, guys, that was an excellent presentation. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

700
02:04:43.000 --> 02:05:03.000
Before I open up the floor for questions. There was one question that was posted in the chat from Marianne for your CT site, OAMQ, and OANDQ. What structural or strategy graphic information tells you that they are or division and not solution.

701
02:05:03.000 --> 02:05:15.000
Um, I that's or sorry I'm trying to go back and this is based on. From what I know like previous readings and research and previous work that has been done.

702
02:05:15.000 --> 02:05:25.000
All right, thank you. So if anyone has any other questions from Isaiah, we can open up the floor now.

703
02:05:25.000 --> 02:05:37.000
Hello, so this is my great. Have a good question for you, what are the ages you came up with was about 410 is that rank for 10. He

704
02:05:37.000 --> 02:05:40.000
was this later than us.

705
02:05:40.000 --> 02:05:45.000
Keep going.

706
02:05:45.000 --> 02:05:55.000
Okay, maybe I missed, maybe I didn't see it correctly. Okay, I thought so one is for 10 as I will maybe that's kinsmen granted direct but obviously I was this reading Sorry about that.

707
02:05:55.000 --> 02:06:03.000
Yeah, no that's I think that's a little out of my ballpark. Okay,

708
02:06:03.000 --> 02:06:06.000
unless it is Greg, I'll ask a question.

709
02:06:06.000 --> 02:06:07.000
Your, I did a great job by the way it's it's really nice results.

710
02:06:07.000 --> 02:06:17.000
I did a great job by the way it's it's really nice results. One of your analyses you have an age, which was your fell sick rocket OAMF.

711
02:06:17.000 --> 02:06:30.000
And in the age, you got for 52 plus or minus eight you showed a population density plot, but you also have zircons that you analyzed in there that look like they're metamorphic, you've got 360s and for hundreds.

712
02:06:30.000 --> 02:06:37.000
Did you include those younger grains in your calculation of the age or did you exclude those.

713
02:06:37.000 --> 02:06:52.000
Um no i i excluded those so in order to make the way to mean and get the final age, I think I are Yeah, I can strained it between 40 and 40 and 40 and 60 million years so nothing earlier, or nothing later than that.

714
02:06:52.000 --> 02:06:55.000
Okay. All right. Good. Thank you. Thanks. Nice job.

715
02:06:55.000 --> 02:06:58.000
Thanks,

716
02:06:58.000 --> 02:07:01.000
Bob which I had a question as well.

717
02:07:01.000 --> 02:07:07.000
The sample I think before the one you're showing was also.

718
02:07:07.000 --> 02:07:18.000
They had the trial yeah this is the one you propose an age of 465.

719
02:07:18.000 --> 02:07:23.000
But that's the age of detritus zircons is that correct.

720
02:07:23.000 --> 02:07:39.000
Um, yeah. So, you do have ages, you do have zircons that dropped to 450 and there's even received six or eight zircons that looked like they're about 430 million.

721
02:07:39.000 --> 02:07:47.000
Why did you exclude those as potential youngest

722
02:07:47.000 --> 02:08:04.000
potential deposition no grains, you're looking at the peak. But that's the that's the that tells you where most of those guns came from it doesn't have to say that the age of deposition, I think,

723
02:08:04.000 --> 02:08:22.000
um, yeah I just, I think it was just a decision I made to go with where the peak was and where most of the zircons were so yeah like the previous sample is constrained it to 450 to four and 80 million years.

724
02:08:22.000 --> 02:08:44.000
Okay, would be it would be interesting to see whether the peak that looks like it's at about 410, that has about seven grains and I'm looking at the upper upper right diagram.

725
02:08:44.000 --> 02:08:58.000
I'm going to try and see what else I can come up with but this is just what I have right now I'm still going to do a little bit more with it. That would be very interesting to see how those are cons looked in in human vessels.

726
02:08:58.000 --> 02:09:07.000
Oh yeah, I have those pictures I should have put them on. But thank you that's a great talk I hope you go on to grad school. Thanks.

727
02:09:07.000 --> 02:09:09.000
Alright thanks lies.

728
02:09:09.000 --> 02:09:23.000
And this point, we are in a break, we're actually running four minutes behind schedule so if, if you want to reload on tea or coffee or whatever.

729
02:09:23.000 --> 02:09:32.000
Go ahead and we'll reconvene at 1015 to hear more interesting research about the tectonic history of northeastern North America.

730
02:09:32.000 --> 02:09:41.000
If you want to ask any of the previous presenters, any questions, you can feel free to do so now.

731
02:09:41.000 --> 02:09:49.000
Between now and 1015. So,

732
02:09:49.000 --> 02:09:58.000
are you still there.

733
02:09:58.000 --> 02:10:00.000
Well, Bob.

734
02:10:00.000 --> 02:10:04.000
That was a spectacular talk by the way.

735
02:10:04.000 --> 02:10:06.000
Thank you. Appreciate it.

736
02:10:06.000 --> 02:10:23.000
Very very impressed. Hello. I wonder if we could lower you into eastern Connecticut where we have some momentum and your, your kind of study would really hammer some of our issues.

737
02:10:23.000 --> 02:10:27.000
And you're welcome I'm no longer at UMass I'm with.

738
02:10:27.000 --> 02:10:42.000
I sort of I, I graduated, and I'm sort of, I'm with the USGS now so we're actually working on now but I'm sure you can reach out to Mike or, or you know Mike Williams are like genetic to see they're interested in, potentially collaborate with with working

739
02:10:42.000 --> 02:10:45.000
with entrepreneurs.

740
02:10:45.000 --> 02:10:50.000
So you're a USGS Well congratulations.

741
02:10:50.000 --> 02:10:53.000
Thanks.

742
02:10:53.000 --> 02:11:00.000
Ian, I might continue. I have a question actually that was really interesting and very very

743
02:11:00.000 --> 02:11:02.000
important work.

744
02:11:02.000 --> 02:11:20.000
You mentioned the overall concept is collapsing of the plateau. And what we know from the modern examples or geologically under examples when this happens, we see a very dominant extension of structures that is closing metamorphic core complex kind of

745
02:11:20.000 --> 02:11:25.000
structures coming in some of them might have nice stones in the centers.

746
02:11:25.000 --> 02:11:47.000
So I was wondering, with that perspective, any of these classic nice stones that we see in New England might be reworked in the in similar fashions is just showed that timber Brahma tree from the pattern Damn it, I can you mentioned that it has the compression

747
02:11:47.000 --> 02:11:56.000
melting and very rapid cooling at the beginning. So, are those extension a little late It's essential structures are there.

748
02:11:56.000 --> 02:12:01.000
I think I think so, the calendar is interesting because they see the extra period of loading.

749
02:12:01.000 --> 02:12:17.000
Before that, and then it gets zoom really quickly we don't see that signature elsewhere. But I think that there's that sort of exclusion of the domes and sort of a, maybe a core complex like scenario is is a good option we talked about it a bit in our

750
02:12:17.000 --> 02:12:22.000
EP SL paper, so I can send that to you, you going to copy.

751
02:12:22.000 --> 02:12:39.000
And so it's for example, one of the good example is the the the Chester Dominic Vermont can see that there's Paul carabiners his friends and evidence for us are low angle detachment around it, extrusion and are gone for 39 data converges with sort of

752
02:12:39.000 --> 02:12:42.000
the core rocks are much are a little bit hotter.

753
02:12:42.000 --> 02:12:57.000
And, and they reach the same temperatures that cover rocks around 325, which is when we see this Garner breakdown signal, some work goes on there by gateway at all saw that there was that same time period, there's a lot of Xena time halos around garnets

754
02:12:57.000 --> 02:12:59.000
and really spectacular ones.

755
02:12:59.000 --> 02:13:09.000
So I think there's a ton of these domes, probably the complex history, like we can we can see from those really interesting, different different levels.

756
02:13:09.000 --> 02:13:14.000
But the pie the final stage is maybe a core complex like structure, I think that the.

757
02:13:14.000 --> 02:13:21.000
The Kentucky group has also done some some similar work from the base from a structural standpoint.

758
02:13:21.000 --> 02:13:22.000
Yeah.

759
02:13:22.000 --> 02:13:25.000
I had a question for eons.

760
02:13:25.000 --> 02:13:27.000
Did you.

761
02:13:27.000 --> 02:13:45.000
I did you ever think of, like, what the topography of the Altiplano was and how it might relate to like later Pennsylvania and for Ireland deposition you know the coals and cycle themes and stuff.

762
02:13:45.000 --> 02:13:49.000
To the west.

763
02:13:49.000 --> 02:14:02.000
Yeah, so we can sort of again, sort of like, there's two ways we can gain some insight into that one is from the thermal thermal barometer You're right, which sort of an average of what the pressure that we see those, those broad pressures over over really,

764
02:14:02.000 --> 02:14:19.000
really, we see six kilo bar we calibration Western Connecticut and he's the 66 kilo bar pressures throughout Central Massachusetts and across a large north south area and that sort of implies to me sort of a muted muted typography, maybe around three

765
02:14:19.000 --> 02:14:20.000
to 390 when we see those.

766
02:14:20.000 --> 02:14:36.000
The first part of the extrusion or Western Connecticut, they may have generated some, some large some more Jagat topography. The other thing we could look at as the chemical crystal thickness proxies.

767
02:14:36.000 --> 02:14:47.000
And they suggest that the early occasions about about elevations about one to two kilometers from a sort of a ridge that progressed, and the sort of siloed badly at all.

768
02:14:47.000 --> 02:14:54.000
And then in the neocon medium, we see a big pulse across with beckoning in southern New England, that doubles the crystal thickness.

769
02:14:54.000 --> 02:15:01.000
And instead of seeing a progression in the direction crystal beckoning we see the whole area sort of just inflates and I just sort of distributed manner.

770
02:15:01.000 --> 02:15:10.000
And we end this this record that we see from the crystal thickness proxies, based on whole rock stars and get your implant and b2b and you give me my isotopes.

771
02:15:10.000 --> 02:15:17.000
Those suggest that we had elevation some around five kilometers in southern New England.

772
02:15:17.000 --> 02:15:19.000
Those are.

773
02:15:19.000 --> 02:15:28.000
And that's the signal thickening tracks with other crop the fallen basin.

774
02:15:28.000 --> 02:15:30.000
Right.

775
02:15:30.000 --> 02:15:37.000
So I hope everyone had a nice break for those few minutes there.

776
02:15:37.000 --> 02:16:00.000
Now we are going to transition from a metamorphic and tetra chronology, and geo chronology theme to structures in northern New England, and for this first talk after the break we have Paul Washington and Stephen Chizik who have uploaded a pre recorded

777
02:16:00.000 --> 02:16:08.000
presentation, called deciphering the internal structure of the silicon Champlain mega grabbing in the central Champlain Valley.

778
02:16:08.000 --> 02:16:24.000
Hi, I'm Paul Washington, Steve and I have been working on this area since the mid 1970s and working together since the mid 80s, or work rests on the shoulders of two centuries of previous workers, beginning with Edwin Jameson 1819.

779
02:16:24.000 --> 02:16:38.000
We are especially indebted to Augusta swing for deciphering the strategic graffiti in the 1860s, and to the late Brewster Baldwin of Middlebury College who patiently spent many hours helping us better distinguish the strategy in the field.

780
02:16:38.000 --> 02:16:50.000
Today we are going to show the results of our recent efforts to define the relative vertical movements of various box within the mega group and that underlies the Champlain Valley in Vermont New York.

781
02:16:50.000 --> 02:17:06.000
This picture shows the western surface of this area with the deformed camber division carbonate bank Strout of the valley, extending westward to the boundary faults of the Adirondacks depth the basement is approximately six kilometers under the valley.

782
02:17:06.000 --> 02:17:17.000
So there's about seven kilometers of vertical throw across the boundary falls, with most of that displacement having occurred in the saurian during the formation of the mega Robin.

783
02:17:17.000 --> 02:17:27.000
Just to give context, we are talking about a half degree by half degree area in western Vermont in northeastern New York on the outer edges of the deformed northern Appalachians.

784
02:17:27.000 --> 02:17:33.000
This area is about 55 kilometers north south and 40 kilometers east west.

785
02:17:33.000 --> 02:17:46.000
The specific area lies between the northern end of the mechanics and the southern end of the continuous champagne thrust sheet. It is an area dominated by the Campbell division carbonated shelf strata, which is what we really have been studying most of

786
02:17:46.000 --> 02:17:51.000
this time, and includes the reference section for the Beekman town.

787
02:17:51.000 --> 02:18:04.000
We have chosen the 1961 state map for the enlarge version since the 2011 state map mostly copied this area from the earlier map, and the color scheme of the 61 map makes critical and it's clearer.

788
02:18:04.000 --> 02:18:14.000
This portion of the 61 map was compiled by while he Katie, and over half of it is personal mapping, mostly pose masters and doctorate.

789
02:18:14.000 --> 02:18:26.000
This is the area that includes Katie's Middlebury synchronous Aryan with the Green Mountain had a glorious towards east, the south end of the Champlain thrust with the Orwell thrust is the login sign continuation southward.

790
02:18:26.000 --> 02:18:33.000
The northern termination of the mechanics in the northern end of the commercial marble belt.

791
02:18:33.000 --> 02:18:45.000
Just to give you some visual perspective. This is a view looking south from Apollo promontory on the Champlain thrust a few miles north of the area show house mountainous the northern limit of the study area.

792
02:18:45.000 --> 02:19:00.000
Most of the areas relatively low lying, with only the champion thrust pieces, make mountain being the southern most, and the mechanics providing significant relief between the Green Mountains to the east, and the Adirondacks to the west, except for a

793
02:19:00.000 --> 02:19:05.000
few large drug one such as Chipman Hill by Middlebury Vermont.

794
02:19:05.000 --> 02:19:16.000
To understand this area, we have been forced to get brutally honest about what can be seen, large portions of the area have no outcrop thanks to major modern Robbins and accompanying thick return recover.

795
02:19:16.000 --> 02:19:31.000
We'll be talking about the grub into our second talk. Often we don't even have water well data as bad as that is to guide us in these areas. By removing these areas from the state map, you can see that the poles of the Middlebury centenarian disappear.

796
02:19:31.000 --> 02:19:39.000
It should be noted that even this view is problematic because Katie ports, the number of this strategy graphic assignments to make them fit the map pattern.

797
02:19:39.000 --> 02:19:51.000
The superficially repetitious nature of this particular fee and the paucity of fossil data allowed him to believe this model despite the obvious need for the DLR to complete the pattern.

798
02:19:51.000 --> 02:20:01.000
Nick Ratcliff created some additional skill art in assembling the current state map, but it's just as invalid.

799
02:20:01.000 --> 02:20:10.000
We have been forced to produce our own map of the area correct in Australia graphic assignments, we have grouped strata to make the map pattern possible to see at the scale.

800
02:20:10.000 --> 02:20:23.000
This map attempts to be correct in location at the outcrop level throughout the area, know that we have not attempted to map into the Green Mountains accepted to constrain the East edge of the Cheshire, and we have included the limited outcrop data from

801
02:20:23.000 --> 02:20:26.000
the New York side of Lake Champlain.

802
02:20:26.000 --> 02:20:33.000
This slide would be just a strat reference slide, except that we have also recognize each and certainly three elements.

803
02:20:33.000 --> 02:20:39.000
One the main marble belt, as far as we know no fossil data constraints its age.

804
02:20:39.000 --> 02:20:56.000
The Caitlin's and included iron deposits, these are obviously deeply weathered case silicate in proven a strata possibly latest Niels protozoa shifts and delights in Brandon, they are associated within a legacy, or Miocene late night.

805
02:20:56.000 --> 02:21:11.000
And finally a truly enigmatic block of and false slippers state, a strata on the southeast corner of snake mountain, that is not compatible with any part of the Kimbo deficient stratigraphy district take her feet divides up nicely into a serious the tectonic

806
02:21:11.000 --> 02:21:23.000
packages with the champagne and Green Mountain thrust sheets containing only lower and middle Cambrian strata, and the rest of the thrust sheets containing nothing older than late Cambrian.

807
02:21:23.000 --> 02:21:36.000
However, to be quite accurate. We need to look at the structure graffiti is an online sequence that was no more than about a kilometer taken any Park, and was stepped up more than six kilometers stick by slick thrusting, meaning that it had to extend

808
02:21:36.000 --> 02:21:42.000
more than 300 kilometers eastward that would put it in Augusta, Maine today.

809
02:21:42.000 --> 02:21:48.000
This view of the thrust stack is not intended to be anything more than a cartoon.

810
02:21:48.000 --> 02:22:02.000
After the Salonika thrust stack was created. We then have the formation of our mega Grubin to have a connected folder thrust structure, such as that standard have been proposed for the Middlebury synchronicity underlined by the champagne thrust.

811
02:22:02.000 --> 02:22:09.000
The Maven Robin would have had to have held together internally during grabbing collapse.

812
02:22:09.000 --> 02:22:19.000
But we know that Robbins don't collapse that way, especially if they are experiencing significant extension in vertical motion, such as the seven kilometers seeing here.

813
02:22:19.000 --> 02:22:26.000
So the internal structure of the Robin must include significant relative vertical displacements.

814
02:22:26.000 --> 02:22:44.000
So, we are trying to decipher the box vaulting within the mega grabbing, so we can start to really understand the solidity thrust information to the same for the story and grabbing structure, we must first remove or account for the subsequent affirmations,

815
02:22:44.000 --> 02:23:00.000
other than the active extension event that has produced the modern Robbins hit hide the rocks. We have to deal with a new gene thrusting event that gives us most of our current mountain typography.

816
02:23:00.000 --> 02:23:14.000
Genesis. The remaining events are much less important for this analysis. The Neo gene events produce relatively small displacements, so we can ignore them except for not being confused by their persons.

817
02:23:14.000 --> 02:23:25.000
So the Green Mountains were raised in the weight near gene above the Green Mountain frontal thrust that comics were raised by sub iconic East virgin thrusts as well as lesser West virgin thrusts.

818
02:23:25.000 --> 02:23:38.000
The picture was taken from my family home just northwest of Middlebury and Wogan's line was created as a topographic feature by late in Eugene trusting in the underlying strata.

819
02:23:38.000 --> 02:23:47.000
These features can be seen as major features on the map.

820
02:23:47.000 --> 02:23:55.000
It is the Acadian structures that present the most difficulties. The Acadian thrust sheets, that is the champagne Rashid.

821
02:23:55.000 --> 02:24:06.000
The Taconic Alarcon's, the sheets in an adjacent to the Green Mountains containing Cheshire and Dunham, along with the meta carbonate naps in Sudbury and Weybridge.

822
02:24:06.000 --> 02:24:22.000
They were all fresco for the denuded block vaulted strata within the mega grabbing the Mesozoic extension mostly reactivated earlier grabbing structures, further complicated you have evaluation of the late pillars so contractual features by juxtaposing

823
02:24:22.000 --> 02:24:40.000
the Acadian thrust sheets with Sonic blocks within the mega Robin. That's the champagne thrush eat at snake mountain was dropped into a Mesozoic Robin so it now sits adjacent to and Portland word of strategy edited overwritten

824
02:24:40.000 --> 02:24:53.000
by removing these Acadian thrush sheets from the map, we can highlight the grub and killing strata, and the structures that preceded the Acadia.

825
02:24:53.000 --> 02:25:05.000
We then need to distinguish the subtle strata graphic patterns in the rocks such as limestone those stone ratios, sand content strategy graphic thicknesses and similar face she's issues.

826
02:25:05.000 --> 02:25:18.000
We also need to recognize the subtle differences in the lowest and metamorphic grades as they are expressed in the carbonate syncing stones that make up the bulk of the strata working these patterns out has been the most difficult part of this project

827
02:25:18.000 --> 02:25:22.000
because the box or no longer range linearly.

828
02:25:22.000 --> 02:25:27.000
Being juxtaposed and interspersed by the box vaulting.

829
02:25:27.000 --> 02:25:40.000
We should note that the Providence Island issues that is the building's vs spread port where the buildings has inner bedded limestone Cinderella stones in the breadboard is almost all those stone

830
02:25:40.000 --> 02:26:02.000
I is one of these issues. The buildings, also is metamorphose to marble on the eastern portion of the area, but there is a non metamorphosed built in between it and the Bridgeport, in many areas in the middle Beekman town.

831
02:26:02.000 --> 02:26:11.000
There's sand content differences, so that Eastern blocks tend to be Eastern that is Eastern and higher.

832
02:26:11.000 --> 02:26:27.000
Structural levels have a higher sand content to chase the Black River Cretans sequence becomes cleaner and more popular for us from farther Western original sources.

833
02:26:27.000 --> 02:26:37.000
The picture in the lower left shows my co author Steve in the early 80s, he wishes he was surprised today as he was then.

834
02:26:37.000 --> 02:26:51.000
We then need to assign the strategy to their pre grabbing position in the Salonika press step by integrating the strata graphic and metamorphic patterns into the regionals cartographic patients patterns in the standard input it in hinterland increasing

835
02:26:51.000 --> 02:26:55.000
metamorphic gradients.

836
02:26:55.000 --> 02:26:59.000
Note that the increasing metamorphosis.

837
02:26:59.000 --> 02:27:10.000
It goes not just hinterland word but upward. There's basically an inversion of metamorphosis in a trust stack.

838
02:27:10.000 --> 02:27:25.000
From this we get a rough stacking sequence for the various identifiable box noted the higher box identified in brighter reds and the lower sheets or darker blues.

839
02:27:25.000 --> 02:27:31.000
We then apply this to the map, replacing star trigger fee, the sheet level assignments.

840
02:27:31.000 --> 02:27:43.000
As expected, the box step up and down, as we proceed eSports across the area. And there are abrupt changes as different attitudes had different block vaulting patterns.

841
02:27:43.000 --> 02:27:46.000
Also, as expected.

842
02:27:46.000 --> 02:27:50.000
There is a general progression to hire sheet levels toward the east.

843
02:27:50.000 --> 02:28:02.000
We should note that the marble belt is the eastern most exposed stratum, and has the highest metamorphic grade, what underlies the Green Mountain sheets however is an interesting question.

844
02:28:02.000 --> 02:28:09.000
Since more than 10 kilometers of additional Robin is hidden.

845
02:28:09.000 --> 02:28:15.000
We can now identify and label a number of internal forces and Robin's within the Meg Robin.

846
02:28:15.000 --> 02:28:23.000
You can see more than I have labeled, but this is just for reference.

847
02:28:23.000 --> 02:28:28.000
We can now add the salary and normal bolts on tour geologic map.

848
02:28:28.000 --> 02:28:35.000
Their presence explains why so many of the strata graphic contacts are so very linear over such long distances.

849
02:28:35.000 --> 02:28:37.000
They aren't normal context.

850
02:28:37.000 --> 02:28:47.000
Rather, they are normal false to to juxtapose strategy that wasn't originally together, though they are often roughly consistent with the strategy graphic sequence.

851
02:28:47.000 --> 02:28:52.000
If you ignore the details.

852
02:28:52.000 --> 02:29:08.000
We also provide a map showing the false and labeled horse and Robbins, to give some perspective on their density, since we couldn't come up with a color scheme that would make them stand out on the colored map.

853
02:29:08.000 --> 02:29:15.000
In conclusion, we have shown a block faulting structure for the Campbell our division strategy in the Champlain Valley.

854
02:29:15.000 --> 02:29:25.000
The pattern is consistent with that expected for the interior of oak Robin, we may not have all the details yet, but we're getting a lot closer.

855
02:29:25.000 --> 02:29:32.000
So we can honestly say that the Champlain Valley has its faults and lots of them at that.

856
02:29:32.000 --> 02:29:39.000
But the area is really good at hiding them.

857
02:29:39.000 --> 02:29:41.000
All right. Thank you, Paul.

858
02:29:41.000 --> 02:29:50.000
Does anyone have any questions for Paul,

859
02:29:50.000 --> 02:30:08.000
certainly have time for some.

860
02:30:08.000 --> 02:30:10.000
make a comment at this point.

861
02:30:10.000 --> 02:30:11.000
Absolutely.

862
02:30:11.000 --> 02:30:22.000
Uh, I was interested in the collapse that was being proposed in one of the earlier talks.

863
02:30:22.000 --> 02:30:43.000
The collapse of the Altiplano so to speak that Ian was talking about. And this is what the primary grabbing structure would be the collapse and the Soria that he was that you're seeing the exclamation that the there and then you have the rebuilding of

864
02:30:43.000 --> 02:31:02.000
the wedge, the rebuilding of the islands in the Soria with, in my case I'm out on the floor one, I'm seeing the thrusting of the new tectonic wedge over the old deformed material that has been done.

865
02:31:02.000 --> 02:31:06.000
I'll walk halted in the extension in between.

866
02:31:06.000 --> 02:31:20.000
Hey, that's really cool it's a really any of the great to sort of build comparisons between what we know what we can think of country that's going on in the hinterland and that has connections to, you know, better preserve upper crust will record in the

867
02:31:20.000 --> 02:31:35.000
fall and I think that's super, super useful going forward often interpreting events that happen. Deep in the cluster, somewhat cryptic to interpret the tectonic signature and sometimes that's the better preserve like a graph and it's a great example of

868
02:31:35.000 --> 02:31:37.000
you know extension, I can see if I see rapid cooling.

869
02:31:37.000 --> 02:31:48.000
In the salary and that might suggest explanation. But if you can see a good Robin forming that's great, great evidence for, you know, or essential tectonics.

870
02:31:48.000 --> 02:32:02.000
You may think that you're seeing cryptic signatures in the hinterland. Well, shall we say, it isn't much less cryptic out in the portal and.

871
02:32:02.000 --> 02:32:11.000
After all, I'm talking about, we're talking about blocked vaulting in an area that has been considered just simply thrust faulted for.

872
02:32:11.000 --> 02:32:29.000
Well, gosh 150 years in fact the champagne thrust that snake mountain is the first description of an older thrust in the literature.

873
02:32:29.000 --> 02:32:39.000
So, really interesting, really. Yeah, to some really eaters and really really careful work and really interesting. Thanks so much for sharing it.

874
02:32:39.000 --> 02:32:42.000
All we have a question from Yvette.

875
02:32:42.000 --> 02:32:48.000
She says isn't a Syrian a little early for ends Altiplano collapse.

876
02:32:48.000 --> 02:33:02.000
Well, that's the say you're talking about the second collapse the Altiplano collapse that you're talking about is the one that happened I guess Mississippian early Mississippian.

877
02:33:02.000 --> 02:33:19.000
The one I'm talking about is the post salinity collapse because he had a building of a high Highland in the clinic, and then he had that that collapsed and then you build another Highland in the Devonian.

878
02:33:19.000 --> 02:33:29.000
Yeah, exactly. So we see crystal thickening like for me for starting before 440 peeking around for 14 is rapid cooling within 444 30.

879
02:33:29.000 --> 02:33:35.000
In the rock seem to hang out in the mid crushing cool slowly prior to Acadian reloading.

880
02:33:35.000 --> 02:33:43.000
So it's not seen anywhere else in the distillery and we have person grabbing.

881
02:33:43.000 --> 02:33:56.000
Then there's a belief in small mm message model, they'll fit together so you have like lateral escape along critical faults in med message model.

882
02:33:56.000 --> 02:34:07.000
There's also some sort of extension horizontally and there's a nice little does it all fit together. Do you think I'm having a really hard time, I had around that.

883
02:34:07.000 --> 02:34:28.000
I look, I look at it from the floral and so I head out the other direction westward, and in this area and you have in the latest motivation you have this wonderful Winston Delta, or shall we call it a mass wedge built out onto the continent.

884
02:34:28.000 --> 02:34:44.000
And then it suddenly collapses in you build carbonate shelf out onto the platform to the west in the story and then into the early Devonian, and then that gets overrun by the next, which which is the capital Delta.

885
02:34:44.000 --> 02:34:59.000
So we see the effect to the west of this. And we see this, the same structures have been being identified in northwestern New Jersey by some good careful mapping being done there.

886
02:34:59.000 --> 02:35:07.000
There isn't much being seen in between because people haven't been looking at it that way.

887
02:35:07.000 --> 02:35:24.000
And so what's going on internally, I leave that to you are. So, I have enough to deal with just dealing with the sets.

888
02:35:24.000 --> 02:35:29.000
All right, 35. Oh, sorry. go ahead.

889
02:35:29.000 --> 02:35:36.000
No, I was just gonna say okay so.

890
02:35:36.000 --> 02:35:39.000
So thank you all for the questions for Paul.

891
02:35:39.000 --> 02:35:43.000
So, the next talk is actually going to be by Paul again.

892
02:35:43.000 --> 02:35:51.000
He's uploaded a second pre recorded presentation, in which he's going to discuss some of the structures he just talked about.

893
02:35:51.000 --> 02:35:57.000
But how they may record the do texting ism in the Champlain Valley.

894
02:35:57.000 --> 02:36:06.000
Hi, this is the second of our two papers on the central Champlain Valley, with those of you who are not attending my last talk, I am Paul Washington.

895
02:36:06.000 --> 02:36:13.000
Stephen I have been reevaluating the Champlain Valley structure based on our work there over the last 40 plus years.

896
02:36:13.000 --> 02:36:20.000
The picture here is looking eastward across the Southwest end of the lemon fair Valley in northeastern Shoreham.

897
02:36:20.000 --> 02:36:37.000
This is an active grabbing, and the hills slope facing us across the valley is a series of cliffs hidden among the trees that are the east side false carp for the grabbing that underlies this valley in the distance, or the Green Mountains.

898
02:36:37.000 --> 02:36:44.000
They were uplifted on West Virginia thrusts in the late Nia chain.

899
02:36:44.000 --> 02:36:54.000
For reference, we are working primarily in the central Champlain Valley, I have to agree by half degree area on the New York for my border.

900
02:36:54.000 --> 02:37:06.000
The area is underlined by multiple deformed Camborne division strata, and is bounded by the mechanics to the south and the continuous champion thrust sheet to the north.

901
02:37:06.000 --> 02:37:23.000
I discussed the bedrock geology in my previous talk, so I will spare you the pain of repeating it this talk will focus on the active block faulting that affects the area, and how it relates to subsurface structures.

902
02:37:23.000 --> 02:37:38.000
Just to prove to you that there is active normal faulting I show you a couple of pictures of these faults. The upper picture is along the Adirondack front, which has been recognized as a series of normal thoughts since the 19th century, the geo morphology

903
02:37:38.000 --> 02:37:42.000
of this scarf tells you it is extremely recent.

904
02:37:42.000 --> 02:37:49.000
The lower picture is a picture of a an eight meter waterfall and relatively soft limestone.

905
02:37:49.000 --> 02:38:00.000
Note that there is almost no incision into the limestone even though the stream is cut a 15 meter deep Kenyan through a slight Ridge, just upstream.

906
02:38:00.000 --> 02:38:18.000
The rock at the base of the Falls is the same as that of the falls itself, the Champlain Valley has been affected by numerous tectonic events. This may not be a complete list, but it is the best we can do at this point in this talk, we are trying to understand

907
02:38:18.000 --> 02:38:26.000
the earlier events, by looking at the features being formed today.

908
02:38:26.000 --> 02:38:42.000
This is where I ended the last talk with our map of the geology of this area with the identifiable story and exceptional faults overlaying the structural complexity of the area means that the subsurface projections that we would all like to do are questionable

909
02:38:42.000 --> 02:38:46.000
at best,

910
02:38:46.000 --> 02:39:05.000
as we pointed out in the last talk, order is the Champlain Valley have no outcrop leading others to generate amazing geo work by projecting strata graphic units faults and folds across these areas, sometimes for more than 20 kilometers between outcrops.

911
02:39:05.000 --> 02:39:12.000
In many cases, they are not even any water wells to give us a clue as to what might be down there.

912
02:39:12.000 --> 02:39:27.000
The large blank areas within the map area are mostly Robbins with ticket trim refill. So the question is whether we can use the grub and geometries to understand what is going on down below.

913
02:39:27.000 --> 02:39:35.000
So, let's talk Robin theory, we can specify grabbing mechanics in a stratified system.

914
02:39:35.000 --> 02:39:54.000
But the pre existing structure of an organic belt inserts an overwhelming kinematic control. So nearly all of the Robbins in this area will form above ramps on former thrust surfaces with the thrust detachments being reactivated as extension of detachments.

915
02:39:54.000 --> 02:40:06.000
This means that if we figure out what the grabbing detachment, looks like we are defining the subsurface for a structure as well.

916
02:40:06.000 --> 02:40:23.000
We first need to understand that a grumpiness a collapse feature created in response to the divergence of the bounding box. This collapse creates a void at the surface, which we see as a valley, the cross sectional area of this void must equal the displacement

917
02:40:23.000 --> 02:40:37.000
area created by the movement of the downtown grabbing wall. Of course, defining the void can be problematic. Thanks to original on the Robin walls in deposition on the Robin for.

918
02:40:37.000 --> 02:40:48.000
Please note that the nature of the collapse above a dipping ramp will produce a more definable scarf on the uptick wall than on the down dip wall.

919
02:40:48.000 --> 02:40:57.000
This is significant because it tells us dip direction on the underlying ramp.

920
02:40:57.000 --> 02:41:10.000
Because grabbing sir downward tapering wedges wider Robbins generally had deeper detachments. However, there is no unique relationship between grabbing geo morphology and depth or displacement.

921
02:41:10.000 --> 02:41:18.000
Rather, grabbing void volume can be defined as a function of the interaction of depth and displacement.

922
02:41:18.000 --> 02:41:25.000
This means that we need to apply knowledge of the subsurface in order to solve the nature of the subsurface under Robin.

923
02:41:25.000 --> 02:41:28.000
A nice circular reasoning problem.

924
02:41:28.000 --> 02:41:35.000
Fortunately, Robbins or bounded by Hyland's were outcrop is often available to help us out.

925
02:41:35.000 --> 02:41:47.000
It should be noted that the depth displacement controls on grabbing Jim morphology are essentially independent of ramped up. So any analysis needs to assume a dip.

926
02:41:47.000 --> 02:42:04.000
Note also that the shallowest available depth places the top of the ramp at the base of the void, essentially creating the mythical half crop and they do exist but only in more flexible strata, the deepest possible depth occurs where the bounding faults

927
02:42:04.000 --> 02:42:21.000
would have met prior to any displacement.

928
02:42:21.000 --> 02:42:31.000
So let's try applying this theory to the Champlain Valley. I believe a labeled several, but not all of the major Robbins for reference.

929
02:42:31.000 --> 02:42:45.000
Each of these large province Mark some ramp on or the splaying off of a through going detachment surface, the detachment surfaces are reactivated thrust attachments from earlier current correctional events.

930
02:42:45.000 --> 02:42:55.000
So what might we figure out from the Brahmins, hopefully depth of the detachment, and ramp projects.

931
02:42:55.000 --> 02:43:03.000
We will begin by applying the theory to the northern part of the women fear of Robin, where we have excellent surface geologic information on both sides.

932
02:43:03.000 --> 02:43:10.000
The green line marks the location of the transcript, we will use in this analysis.

933
02:43:10.000 --> 02:43:19.000
The differences in land use, make the ground and stand out on Google Earth views of the area.

934
02:43:19.000 --> 02:43:33.000
labeling the map shows that the test site in the lemon paragraph Robin is northwest of Middlebury and just east of snake mountain, which is topped by the south end of the Champlain thrust sheet.

935
02:43:33.000 --> 02:43:41.000
The transept we chose runs from the village of labor chill to Central snake mountain.

936
02:43:41.000 --> 02:43:47.000
This is a view from waiver chill westward across the lemon fair Valley to snake mountain.

937
02:43:47.000 --> 02:43:58.000
Basically the line of the concept, the distance from the cliffs at the base of Weybridge hill to the bounding Paul for snake mountain, it's just about three kilometers.

938
02:43:58.000 --> 02:44:10.000
The etymology of the name lemon fair which is the name of the slow moving river within the grabbing is unclear, but it's likely an English mangling of a French name.

939
02:44:10.000 --> 02:44:25.000
The Valley has held a large Native American settlement during the French occupation of Crown Point in the mid 18th century that settlement lay right next to the cliffs at the near side of the valley directly below us, the nearby bittersweet falls and

940
02:44:25.000 --> 02:44:33.000
a high volume perennial spring at the base of the cliffs provided the dependable water source for the settlement.

941
02:44:33.000 --> 02:44:38.000
I must thank my nephew Chris for this photo taken this sweater.

942
02:44:38.000 --> 02:44:46.000
The scarves on the east side of the lemon paragraph and are quite dramatic, but there are virtually no scarves visible on the west side.

943
02:44:46.000 --> 02:45:01.000
As stated previously this difference indicates ramp slope, with the east side, obviously being the apocalypse carb in the west side, being the down dip bounding fault.

944
02:45:01.000 --> 02:45:10.000
Returning to the Google Earth view, we see the continuous line of the legends, the local name of the line of cliffs fit on the east side scarf.

945
02:45:10.000 --> 02:45:17.000
I have marked the location of our cross section fansite for reference.

946
02:45:17.000 --> 02:45:31.000
Starting with a couple graphic profile, we have constructed a theoretical Robin which assuming that there has been some erosion on the edges. We have constructed a probable pre extension surface at the elevation of labor chill quarterly sediments partially

947
02:45:31.000 --> 02:45:47.000
partially filled Robin, we have chosen to assume an average depth of about 250 people the central portion in the valley poor based on water well information from a kilometer north of the line with a width of about three kilometers, and an average boy

948
02:45:47.000 --> 02:45:51.000
depth of 165 270 meters.

949
02:45:51.000 --> 02:46:09.000
The Void area is just about a half a square kilometer fault depths of 25 degrees were assumed this step is based on observed fault tips in the area, the subsurface strata graphic control on the depth of the profitable detachment comes from our knowledge

950
02:46:09.000 --> 02:46:27.000
of this particular fee of the saurian horsebox exposed to the south and projected northward to this cross section line that block is represented at this latitude only by isolated outcrops on internal horse within the graphic.

951
02:46:27.000 --> 02:46:46.000
As we can see by marking the ledges on a close up view of the geologic map the horse block contain the middle Beekman town. That is the to or dark greenish blue on the map is cut obliquely by the Robin wall.

952
02:46:46.000 --> 02:46:58.000
But the opposing dip directions of the saurian and modern Robin vaults means that the saurian horse block occurs in the subsurface of the Eastern grasp and bonding block.

953
02:46:58.000 --> 02:47:15.000
This horse block originated in a thrust sheet derived from the lower structural levels of a, of the Salonika organic which thrust sheets from this portion of the wedge will usually have Potsdam sandstone basal units, with nearly complete strata graphic

954
02:47:15.000 --> 02:47:15.000
sections in the underlying press sheets.

955
02:47:15.000 --> 02:47:29.000
sections in the underlying price sheets. I have pinned the vault to a projected thrust surface under the next lower Potsdam basal unit.

956
02:47:29.000 --> 02:47:38.000
So, as we conclude with a view across the western Champlain Valley. From the top of the mountain.

957
02:47:38.000 --> 02:47:42.000
We can identify the dead Creek Robin.

958
02:47:42.000 --> 02:47:58.000
Through its, Jim morphic expression, though that's most easily seen at ground level in numerous impounded portions of the creek within the wildlife refuge, the geo morphology is much less dramatic than that of the lemon paragraph and just find us on the

959
02:47:58.000 --> 02:48:00.000
east side of snake mountain.

960
02:48:00.000 --> 02:48:16.000
Note that the dead Creek grabbing is once and a half the width of the lemon paragraph and, meaning it probably has a deeper detachment than that of the lemon paragraph and this progressive narrowing of hearts grabbing c squared and these are just two

961
02:48:16.000 --> 02:48:33.000
points in that pattern suggests and East climbing detachment system, which strongly suggests it originated as an East Virginia trust system, cutting through the previously blocked vaulted, making Robin, Bill.

962
02:48:33.000 --> 02:48:51.000
So, I will leave you with the question was the late Nia Jean uplift of the Adirondacks caused by an East virgin thrust system that in placed Grenville Roxanne to Kimbo division strata within the champagne makeup Robin fill the active Robbins would seem

963
02:48:51.000 --> 02:48:54.000
to be suggesting that this is so.

964
02:48:54.000 --> 02:48:59.000
Thank you.

965
02:48:59.000 --> 02:49:03.000
All right. Thank you, Paul. That was really interesting.

966
02:49:03.000 --> 02:49:12.000
So we have six minutes for questions for Paul,

967
02:49:12.000 --> 02:49:14.000
yes to that.

968
02:49:14.000 --> 02:49:17.000
Oh, there's one in the chat from Marianne.

969
02:49:17.000 --> 02:49:24.000
How much near gene movement on the Green Mountain thrusts what tectonic or stress of it caused the Neo gene thrusting.

970
02:49:24.000 --> 02:49:28.000
Well the new gene thrusting would start with the event.

971
02:49:28.000 --> 02:49:38.000
The new gene signature and East West signature are seen across all of northeastern North America.

972
02:49:38.000 --> 02:49:56.000
It's mostly hidden, because it's reactivating by older structures, but it's, you can actually define it pretty well out in Ohio, and actually in the plateau of the New York State.

973
02:49:56.000 --> 02:50:23.000
How much shortening enough to take what was a flat structure across to lift it to a kilometer and plus high, and it's probably you're probably talking about five to 10 kilometers so of shortening their.

974
02:50:23.000 --> 02:50:27.000
Anyone have any other questions for Paul.

975
02:50:27.000 --> 02:50:50.000
I would love to have the USGS upon drilling a hole in Crown Heights, in the show is here at Port Henry down through the Precambrian and to see if I'm right that there's some camera division underneath it since they're mapping there right now.

976
02:50:50.000 --> 02:50:53.000
I know the answer to that is Yeah right.

977
02:50:53.000 --> 02:50:54.000
Yeah.

978
02:50:54.000 --> 02:51:11.000
I'll just answer your Now Paul boy if we could get some funds to drill holes that there's lots of places we'd like to drill but yes, you know your your observation that the Champlain Valley is is hiding a lot of its faults and a lot of it's a crops is

979
02:51:11.000 --> 02:51:25.000
accurate it's a, it's been a challenge for a lot of people working there. Well, we did a pretty good job of describing that back in 1961 and saying, you know, any connection of this particular view across a lot of these suppose at fault is it is a hazard

980
02:51:25.000 --> 02:51:38.000
undertaking so we appreciate your efforts and try to unravel it because it's it's a problem, but I don't see anybody spending any money to drill any holes in any point in time, unfortunately.

981
02:51:38.000 --> 02:51:56.000
Yeah, well, well be was the one who really first try our recognize that block bolting extended into the valley. And what we're doing is we're taking it all the way to the Green Mountains and I can tell you I see it affecting the Green Mountain, shall

982
02:51:56.000 --> 02:52:01.000
we say, Jim morphology, very odd as well so.

983
02:52:01.000 --> 02:52:12.000
And in fact, all the way down into all the way the whole Champlain Valley Hudson River belt seems to be a block faulted belt.

984
02:52:12.000 --> 02:52:28.000
So,

985
02:52:28.000 --> 02:52:37.000
well do we know what forces are driving the extension during that period of time, while the extension is active.

986
02:52:37.000 --> 02:52:47.000
It's the same extension that is affecting the Adirondacks the Adirondack current block vaulting in the Adirondacks is.

987
02:52:47.000 --> 02:52:53.000
And then, if you want a great grab and just go to Lake George.

988
02:52:53.000 --> 02:53:01.000
That is active, the Champlain Valley is active as well.

989
02:53:01.000 --> 02:53:20.000
I don't think anybody has a good model for what's going on, Neo tectonically in the in northeastern North America right now anyway.

990
02:53:20.000 --> 02:53:32.000
Very interesting. Do we have any additional questions from the crowd.

991
02:53:32.000 --> 02:53:36.000
Oh, I would like to add one last thing.

992
02:53:36.000 --> 02:53:54.000
When I have gone across the, the classic Ruby and metamorphic section down by Poughkeepsie, I am seeing that a lot of the metamorphic boundaries are across active Robbins or two more quickly apparent.

993
02:53:54.000 --> 02:53:55.000
Robbins.

994
02:53:55.000 --> 02:54:05.000
So, not having mapped it carefully I can't say for sure but they sure as heck look like what I'm looking at up in the Champlain Valley.

995
02:54:05.000 --> 02:54:14.000
So be careful of your metamorphic boundaries in your metamorphic progressions.

996
02:54:14.000 --> 02:54:19.000
Very good, thank you so much for the warning.

997
02:54:19.000 --> 02:54:39.000
Thank you for your presentations that we can now move on to the next one, which is also structural geology base with Jeanne crispy and her colleagues is studying the kinematic modeling of string variation in the evenings, Brooke thrust sheet of the Taconic

998
02:54:39.000 --> 02:54:47.000
allocate them, and the implications for the development of the key back salience.

999
02:54:47.000 --> 02:54:51.000
Thank you Sarah you handled that well.

1000
02:54:51.000 --> 02:54:57.000
Um, yeah let me get my presentation, up here hopefully it'll work.

1001
02:54:57.000 --> 02:55:06.000
I'm actually does anyone mind, I would prefer to present it in this mode. Oh, Let's do this.

1002
02:55:06.000 --> 02:55:09.000
Okay. Um.

1003
02:55:09.000 --> 02:55:24.000
First off, I just want to thank the convener of this session and let's see your presentation though you can't know are you sharing. Oh, sorry, sorry, know that I'm eating up a valuable time here.

1004
02:55:24.000 --> 02:55:33.000
Sorry I'm in the ozone, apparently.

1005
02:55:33.000 --> 02:55:35.000
How about now.

1006
02:55:35.000 --> 02:55:39.000
Yeah, that looks good if you make it full screen, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup.

1007
02:55:39.000 --> 02:55:54.000
There we go. Okay, my head is in this now. All right, so, um, I did, I already said this, but let me say it again now that I'm in the groove is, first off I just wanted to thank you all for convenience for organizing this session, it really has been a

1008
02:55:54.000 --> 02:55:58.000
great morning so far.

1009
02:55:58.000 --> 02:56:10.000
So to get started with this talk, I think some of you in the audience know that I've been working for well really more than a few years in the mechanical lockdown of Vermont and New York.

1010
02:56:10.000 --> 02:56:29.000
And what I want to do in this talk is to present a synthesis of some of that work in the context of shall we say some covert inspired or some you can't get out in the field and do any field work inspired kinematic modeling and weekly metamorphose rocks

1011
02:56:29.000 --> 02:56:45.000
and thrust sheets and Portland fold and thrust belts, have been studied quite a bit in this respect as have medium to high grade metamorphic rocks in the more internal parts of organic wedges and low grade metamorphic rocks like those in the mechanical

1012
02:56:45.000 --> 02:56:58.000
lock bond really are understudied. And so what overall goal with all of this is to try to get a more complete picture for an organic wedge.

1013
02:56:58.000 --> 02:57:13.000
So, um. This map shows where we've been working in the getting spark thrust sheet, and the mechanical oxen, and I first wanted to draw your attention to the north arrow, which is pointing to your left, rather than up.

1014
02:57:13.000 --> 02:57:28.000
And I also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that I forgot to include a location map. But I do have labels for you for Vermont and New York here, so that'll give you some sense of where we are in the world.

1015
02:57:28.000 --> 02:57:42.000
And to be honest, for better or worse this really is a process oriented talk. And so it really won't matter where we are, until we get to the very last slide of the presentation.

1016
02:57:42.000 --> 02:57:49.000
So, on this map. There are two main features to notice before we move on.

1017
02:57:49.000 --> 02:58:10.000
And the first is that you can see that there isn't a long strike change in the overall age of the strata graphic units, as we move from north to south where we see generally older units in the north, and generally younger units in the south, and we interpret

1018
02:58:10.000 --> 02:58:23.000
that as indicating that the getting spring thrust sheet is inclined ever so gently with maybe an inclination in the neighborhood of one to two degrees to the south.

1019
02:58:23.000 --> 02:58:38.000
And then the other main feature to notice is that the axes of the regional scale folds are curved, and they define a salient here in the north, and a small recess here in the south.

1020
02:58:38.000 --> 02:59:00.000
And so what we've done is we've used these two features to define three structural domains and northern domains central domain and southern domain and the northern the northern domain is the structurally lowest domain, as a result of that southward inclination

1021
02:59:00.000 --> 02:59:13.000
of the thrust sheet so the northern domain is is structurally lowest domain, and it has fold axes that trend north northeast are parallel to the overall trend of the conical lock fine if we slide down here to the southern domain.

1022
02:59:13.000 --> 02:59:29.000
The southern domain then of course would be at the highest structural levels, and you can see that it also has north northeast trending fold axes parallel to the overall north northeast trend of the Taconic alongside the central domain here in the middle

1023
02:59:29.000 --> 02:59:41.000
is at intermediate structural levels, and it's described by these anomalous North north northwest trending folds and

1024
02:59:41.000 --> 02:59:58.000
then on this map, I've included strain ellipses, that represent the strain data we've collected over the years from string fringes around sub spherical rigid core objects such as pyrite Fran Boyd's.

1025
02:59:58.000 --> 03:00:04.000
And in this particular map I'm showing you the xy plane of the strain ellipses.

1026
03:00:04.000 --> 03:00:22.000
And so in terms of strain magnitude let's just focus on string magnitude first, you can see that that is fairly constant in each of the structural domains, and that the strain magnitude is highest in the northern domain.

1027
03:00:22.000 --> 03:00:44.000
If we think about this in terms of orientation, you can see that strain ellipses are very nicely behaved in the northern, and in the southern domain and the x axis or the long axis of the strain of the strain ellipses is perpendicular to those regional

1028
03:00:44.000 --> 03:00:54.000
scale folds so that's the case, we can see that beautifully here in the northern domain and in the southern domain. But that's not the case in the central domain.

1029
03:00:54.000 --> 03:01:13.000
And if you look closely at the central domain, you'll see that the x axis or the long axis of those strangelet slide a moderate, and in some cases not a few cases you can see one here that those long axes slide a very low angle to the structural grain.

1030
03:01:13.000 --> 03:01:17.000
So, I'm

1031
03:01:17.000 --> 03:01:29.000
so that has really been a conundrum for us and that's what a lot of this talk is going to focus on. Let's move away from the map to the law of all structural geologists stereo nets.

1032
03:01:29.000 --> 03:01:40.000
And we can see the same pattern here on these three staring at so I'm going to use red throughout the talk for the Northern domain. Blue for the central domain and purple for the southern domain.

1033
03:01:40.000 --> 03:01:53.000
And so, um, what we can see here is that, in terms of the rate. Maybe we'll go down to this table in the southern domain in terms of the rake of the x axis on the cleavage domain.

1034
03:01:53.000 --> 03:02:04.000
That's essentially down dip in the southern domain, and it's nearly down to it but not quite in the northern domain that'll be coming important in a little bit.

1035
03:02:04.000 --> 03:02:22.000
And then, in our anomalous central domain, we have a moderate rate of the x axis on the cleavage plane. And the other thing I wanted to call your attention to with the steering nuts is orientation of the Y axes, and the Y axes are again well behaved in

1036
03:02:22.000 --> 03:02:32.000
the northern domain in the southern domain. They're just as we would expect in a thrust sheet with a horizontal orientation. If you go over here and look in the central domain.

1037
03:02:32.000 --> 03:02:39.000
You can see that the y axis plunges 20 to 25 degrees to the north north east.

1038
03:02:39.000 --> 03:02:45.000
And that's going to become important in in just a few slides. So let's.

1039
03:02:45.000 --> 03:02:56.000
This is in terms of lines let's think about planes that cleavage plane before we leave our steering that's. And what we see in, in terms of the orientation of the cleavage.

1040
03:02:56.000 --> 03:03:13.000
Is that compared to the northern domain, and to the southern domain. The central domain. The cleavage in the central domain strikes North North West, rather than North north east, and it also dips moderately rather than generally.

1041
03:03:13.000 --> 03:03:25.000
So then if we just step back and summarize all of that structural information I just ran past you kind of quickly. What do we see in the central domain.

1042
03:03:25.000 --> 03:03:34.000
Well, basically we see an x axis that trends to the south, east, rather than to the east southeast.

1043
03:03:34.000 --> 03:03:39.000
And we see a Y axis. That's plunging to steeply.

1044
03:03:39.000 --> 03:03:53.000
And we see a Z axis, that's trending to the south of West, rather than to the north of West. And that's also plunging to shallowly.

1045
03:03:53.000 --> 03:04:07.000
So if you put all that together, that is really starting to smell like there is a distributed component of left lateral wrenching or strikes slip motion in the central domain.

1046
03:04:07.000 --> 03:04:22.000
So what we've done to evaluate that is we've modeled the strain patterns in the getting spark thrushes using different combinations of simultaneous simple share and pure sheer in three dimensions.

1047
03:04:22.000 --> 03:04:34.000
And I've included information matrix for the math oriented people in the crowd and some more simple steps are sketches here at the bottom if you'd rather have a visual for the math.

1048
03:04:34.000 --> 03:04:45.000
And so what do we have here is I've included a thrusting component of simple shares shown here by the effect of sheer strain in the defamation matrix.

1049
03:04:45.000 --> 03:05:03.000
And you can visualize that here are thrusting simple share component with a top to the to 90 direction we've set up the coordinate system such that the x axis is parallel to the sheer direction, and I've set that with a trend of to 90 and I won't get

1050
03:05:03.000 --> 03:05:21.000
the reasons for that in this talk that will take too long. And then we've also included, what we've gotten suspicious about is left lateral wrenching component shown here in the defamation matrix by this effective shear strength entry in the matrix and

1051
03:05:21.000 --> 03:05:32.000
that's represented down here now this is not a cross section view like we saw over here. This is a map view so you're looking down on the earth here to appreciate the wrenching component of simple shear.

1052
03:05:32.000 --> 03:05:48.000
And we're really trying to keep the information matrix as simple as possible. So we have got the sheer direction for the wrenching component. Also parallel to the x axis or the x coordinate access or in the 290 direction.

1053
03:05:48.000 --> 03:06:05.000
so so these are the two big things going on some minor things are that we're going to have no change in length parallel to the x coordinate axes. And I'm just doing that because that will allow us to easily maintain compatibility along strike between

1054
03:06:05.000 --> 03:06:20.000
those three structural domains that we've got a little bit of action here on the rest of the diagonal in the matrix. And that's a very small amount of pure sheer, and I'm including that because in the central domain and in the southern domain, we see

1055
03:06:20.000 --> 03:06:24.000
a small amount of fiber growth in the y direction.

1056
03:06:24.000 --> 03:06:27.000
So we need to have that component as well.

1057
03:06:27.000 --> 03:06:40.000
So, so that's the game plan and I'm going to walk through each of the three domains. And I thought about starting with the simplest domain and then I realized there really isn't a simplest domain so let's start with the most interesting domain which is

1058
03:06:40.000 --> 03:06:42.000
the central domain.

1059
03:06:42.000 --> 03:07:03.000
And it's always kind of tricky when you're working with three dimensional data to think about how to display the results. And so what I have for you here is a diagram I came up with that is plotting the wrenching shear string against the strain ratio

1060
03:07:03.000 --> 03:07:11.000
in the xe plane. And then you can see curves of constant thrusting sheer strain on the plot.

1061
03:07:11.000 --> 03:07:16.000
And I've stopped those curves, where the.

1062
03:07:16.000 --> 03:07:32.000
Here we would have a thrusting shear strength Oh point one so I've stopped those curves, where the thrusting sheer strain is the same as the wrenching cheer strain and I think that kind of makes sense right because we're in it over thrust, or cheat environment.

1063
03:07:32.000 --> 03:07:43.000
And so, we would expect to have more thrusting than mentioned sheer string. Anyway by stopping the curve there that's what gives this plot this to me It always looks like the top half of an angel fish.

1064
03:07:43.000 --> 03:07:59.000
So that half Angel fish plot here that you're looking at. So the bottom line is, you're in this plot we're really thinking about that strain magnitude data that you looked at on the map but the strain ellipses, and this blue bar here shows the range of

1065
03:07:59.000 --> 03:08:14.000
options we have for the relative amounts of thrusting and wrenching in the central domain based on strain magnitude. So how could we translate this into words.

1066
03:08:14.000 --> 03:08:31.000
We could say that oh we could be down here on the bar, and we would have a small, or we would have a thrusting share strain of say about 4.8 and a small wrenching cheer strain of about oh point one, or we could be up here on the top part of the bar, and

1067
03:08:31.000 --> 03:08:48.000
we would have a thrusting cheer stream of about oh point six and a wrenching share screen about oh point five. Or we might be somewhere in the middle with, say, a thrusting sheer strain of 4.7 ish and a wrench into your strain of maybe Oh point three

1068
03:08:48.000 --> 03:09:03.000
ish. So what I'm going to in the next three slides is show you those three options. First we'll look at the bottom of the blue bar, then we'll look at the top of the blue bar and then we'll look at the middle of the blue bar, and we're going to jump from

1069
03:09:03.000 --> 03:09:22.000
stream magnitude and we're going to look at the orientation of the strange ellipse sides. So basically we're going to take our string magnitude data and make some predict or we're going to take, make some predictions of what the orientations should be.

1070
03:09:22.000 --> 03:09:28.000
And then we're going to compare that to what we actually observed from our strain ellipses.

1071
03:09:28.000 --> 03:09:47.000
So here we are now to get you oriented again we've moved on, we're talking about orientation so this now is a plot of plunge against trend, and I were first that I think will first think about the y axis of the strain and flip side because that's the

1072
03:09:47.000 --> 03:10:05.000
that's intuitively, the most easy to understand. You'll remember I pointed out a few minutes ago that the y axis in the central domain plunges about 20 to 25 degrees to the north northeast. So, if we had a zone that was only undergoing thrusting.

1073
03:10:05.000 --> 03:10:14.000
I think it's pretty easy to visualize that your y axis is going to be horizontal and we saw that in the northern in the southern domain stereo minutes.

1074
03:10:14.000 --> 03:10:30.000
And if we have a zone that's just described by wrenching or strikes slip motion. Then we're going to have a Y axis that sub vertical. And if we have some combination between thrusting and wrenching, then we're going to have a Y axis, that's somewhere

1075
03:10:30.000 --> 03:10:44.000
in between. So that's the thinking, and we've got our bottom of our blue bar here without rabbit route relatively large thrusting shear strength Oh point eight and the smaller wrenching share screen.

1076
03:10:44.000 --> 03:10:58.000
And you can see the predictions I put in the yellow circles. So this would predict for our sheer strain here of Oh point one that we would have a Y axis with a plunge have less than 10 degrees.

1077
03:10:58.000 --> 03:11:20.000
And so that doesn't agree very well with what we observed from our strain data. And you can also see that the x axis and the z axis are not the best of fits the, the blue squares here are our observed orientations for the x axis and the z axis, the y

1078
03:11:20.000 --> 03:11:30.000
axis kind of fun to work with because we don't have to deal with the fact that it's a long strike so we don't have to deal with the fact that we really don't know what the dip is of the getting spreadsheet What is it, the base will thrust.

1079
03:11:30.000 --> 03:11:45.000
We do have to worry about that with the X and Z axis so that's why I've got two boxes here, the solid boxes if the Bazell thrust is flat and the open boxes if that basis for us dips about 10 degrees to the east.

1080
03:11:45.000 --> 03:11:59.000
Okay, so that's plot one, let's go to the top of the blue bar, and you'll remember at the top of the blue bar we have a thrusting sheer strain of about oh point six in a wrenching sheer strain of about 8.5 so they're about the same.

1081
03:11:59.000 --> 03:12:09.000
And if we do that, let's go over to the y axis that's easiest one to understand, you can see if we have this relative combination of thrusting wrenching shear strength.

1082
03:12:09.000 --> 03:12:18.000
We're going to predict that our Y axis the prediction again is shown by the yellow circles, we're going to predict that our Y axis has a plunge of almost 40 degrees.

1083
03:12:18.000 --> 03:12:39.000
And that of course is much deeper than our observe 20 to 25 degrees. And if you look over at the X and Z axes, you can see that on the model, the yellow circles represented the model overshoot in both cases, the actual observed orientations of the x and

1084
03:12:39.000 --> 03:12:49.000
the z axis. So this is another particularly good combo of thrusting and wrenching either so I think you probably can guess where I'm going with number three.

1085
03:12:49.000 --> 03:13:05.000
Number three, we're in the middle of that bar and we've got a thrusting cheer strain of about 8.75 and a wrenching cheer strain of 4.3 and why was I surprised when I applauded this, because we've got our Y axis right in here with a plunge of 20 to 25

1086
03:13:05.000 --> 03:13:18.000
degrees justice we observe with our arms, all those strange lips Lloyd's in the central domain. And we also have just a beautiful fit with the orientations of the xn.

1087
03:13:18.000 --> 03:13:29.000
Well, these are interrelated right because the axes are mutually perpendicular but we, we have a beautiful fit for for the other stream axes, as well.

1088
03:13:29.000 --> 03:13:47.000
So, um, so. So what this is telling us is basically that what well what have we done here is we've done probably set up the simplest kinematic model that we possibly could to describe the central domain, and we've done a pretty good job of actually matching

1089
03:13:47.000 --> 03:14:04.000
the strain data that we see in the field. And we've done this, almost completely with simple sharing, there is only a very very small amount of pure sharing here you can see that with the ky value of just a little bit above one is only a very small amount

1090
03:14:04.000 --> 03:14:06.000
of pure sharing.

1091
03:14:06.000 --> 03:14:22.000
In this model, if you're thinking about the big picture which I'll get into in a, in a little bit, is what this is telling us if we just have a zone of simple sharing with no pure sharing, it's telling us that as this threshing was deforming internally,

1092
03:14:22.000 --> 03:14:35.000
it wasn't changing its thickness of course that's going to feed into the development of a critical, critical wedge, which I'm not going to go into in this talk.

1093
03:14:35.000 --> 03:14:38.000
So let's, I'm just a warning us.

1094
03:14:38.000 --> 03:14:51.000
I had a feeling I was going to run out of time so then I said, you probably I was going to say if I ran out of time that you've probably all had enough structural geology by now. And so we're going to skip through the northern domain and the southern

1095
03:14:51.000 --> 03:15:07.000
domain and I'm just going to run through my conclusions, which are that I'm conclusion number one is that you thought we remember we had much higher

1096
03:15:07.000 --> 03:15:20.000
elliptical higher strain magnitude in the northern domain and so what we figured out in the northern domain is we have a much higher component of thrusting shear strength in the northern domain.

1097
03:15:20.000 --> 03:15:34.000
And that makes sense because the northern domain is a structurally lowest domain. And so we're just right above the Bazell thrust in this area so we would expect to have a high thrusting share screen in that area.

1098
03:15:34.000 --> 03:15:37.000
Sorry about that.

1099
03:15:37.000 --> 03:15:54.000
Conclusion to is this curvature that I alluded to, at the beginning of the talk. The reason that curvature is there we believe is because in the central domain, we have a relatively high component of of this wrenching share string.

1100
03:15:54.000 --> 03:16:13.000
And then finally, if we step back and put the getting's Brooke thrust sheet into its position relative to this grand sweep of ceilings and recesses in the Appalachians which I think is so well displayed by the original 1978 lipo tectonic map, you can

1101
03:16:13.000 --> 03:16:32.000
see that that left lateral wrenching component is really easy to interpret, in terms of the development of salience and recesses, and the curvature of the correct salient as Bill Thomas has shown is most likely inherited from the app and rift architecture.

1102
03:16:32.000 --> 03:16:51.000
And so we would interpret the convex salient as a primary arc, and a what our work in this little postage stamp of the getting's book thrust sheet is telling us then is that the Quebec salient probably evolved from a primary arc to a progressive arc during

1103
03:16:51.000 --> 03:17:01.000
to Conan, or a Genesis, such that the curvature of the ceiling was amplified as the various threats sheets were in placed.

1104
03:17:01.000 --> 03:17:14.000
Thank you for giving me a couple extra minutes there Sarah. That's all right. Thank you very much, but a very interesting talk and review of the structure of geology, we are out of time so if you have any question you can go ahead and post them in the

1105
03:17:14.000 --> 03:17:23.000
chat or you can all love and ask them in about half an hour when we have a little bit of time for a break.

1106
03:17:23.000 --> 03:17:25.000
Thank you.

1107
03:17:25.000 --> 03:17:28.000
Thank you Sarah. My pleasure.

1108
03:17:28.000 --> 03:17:47.000
Alright, so our next talk is by $1 Lou, which is going to talk to us about high resolution receiver function profile beneath Connecticut, and its implications for the tonic is three of suffering New England.

1109
03:17:47.000 --> 03:17:56.000
Thank you. Okay guys see this light. Yes, we can see them if you want to put them full screen.

1110
03:17:56.000 --> 03:18:00.000
Perfect. Thank you.

1111
03:18:00.000 --> 03:18:17.000
All right, thank you. So I will get started on southern New England exit is diverse geologic features resulting from past tectonic events in this study we conducted a seismic survey across a longer profile in the northern Connecticut, denoted as the black

1112
03:18:17.000 --> 03:18:34.000
broken line on this bedrock geology map, our profile traverses many surface geological units, including an orange and units in the West, several down to one are derived Turing's to the east, and the Mesozoic riveting basin in the central part of the array.

1113
03:18:34.000 --> 03:18:44.000
array. There is a gun one and derived two rings were created to lunch during different episodes of the play Gen Genesis.

1114
03:18:44.000 --> 03:18:53.000
These Turia creation events as well as the following formation breakup Pangea resulting the diverse surface geology of selves in New England.

1115
03:18:53.000 --> 03:19:08.000
As a seismologist, I am interested in how did these tectonic events, modify the structure of Christ and this experimental deep beneath the surface. And how does present a deep structure corresponds to the surface geology.

1116
03:19:08.000 --> 03:19:19.000
Also I wonder how features image by seismology can in turn, put constraints on the tectonic history of cells in New England.

1117
03:19:19.000 --> 03:19:35.000
In this day, we use p to ask and receive a function analysis, receive function analysis is based on identifying seismic waves that are converted and structural discontinuities with seismic impedance contrast caused by changes in material properties.

1118
03:19:35.000 --> 03:19:54.000
In the case of PJs residual function, we are interested in the ass wave converted from incoming P wave at an interface that separating two mediums, with different show but Asti end or different densities by measuring the time difference between the direct

1119
03:19:54.000 --> 03:20:12.000
PR rival, and converted as that rival, we can estimate to the depth, where this conversion happens. However, as you can see on this resume function seismograph is, it is not so trivial to pick out the converted acid waves, which is buried in like a train

1120
03:20:12.000 --> 03:20:18.000
of noises. And that's why we need to stack, our residual functions.

1121
03:20:18.000 --> 03:20:31.000
When, when we only have a single station, or when the station separation is large, calculated residual functions are being at each single stages.

1122
03:20:31.000 --> 03:20:45.000
When we have a dense array of size programs, I say some more meters and the station station is small enough that seismic waves, two different stations intersect at so called common conversion points at the depth.

1123
03:20:45.000 --> 03:21:02.000
We can then stack, our reserve functions at those common conversion points to achieve better resolution, a previous large scale p to s3 so function study, based on the earth scope transportable array shows that drastic mobile depth offset, but needs the

1124
03:21:02.000 --> 03:21:06.000
boundary between Lorenza and our creative Turing's.

1125
03:21:06.000 --> 03:21:24.000
However, as we can see on this trends, we can see on this profile. The station spacing for the transportable array is large, and the distance between the station to the west of the staff and the station to the east of the staff is at least 100 kilometers.

1126
03:21:24.000 --> 03:21:40.000
In this way we cannot resolve detailed geometry and the sharpness of this mo step. Also, detailed structures within crust and the little experimental associated with the past tectonic events, cannot be accurately constraint.

1127
03:21:40.000 --> 03:21:52.000
In this study, we use data from size calm, the seismic experiment for imaging structure but nice Connecticut, the size count deployment consisted of 15 sizable stage.

1128
03:21:52.000 --> 03:22:10.000
Nancy. Yes, there are one, two cs 15 from west to east denoted as red triangles on this station map. They are deploying a dense linear array with 150 kilometer total length and brought about 11 kilometer average stations basic.

1129
03:22:10.000 --> 03:22:24.000
In addition to size constellations. We also incorporate data from other stations denoted as black, black rectangles in this station map to produce our common conversion point images.

1130
03:22:24.000 --> 03:22:34.000
We use earthquakes, with magnitude, with a magnitude of at least 5.5, and a distance from 30 to 100 degree, away from our seismic stations.

1131
03:22:34.000 --> 03:22:51.000
Here is our calculated a common conversion point profile radicals indicate pasta velocity ingredient, where the seismic velocity is increasing with death blue colors indicate an active velocity gradient, where the velocity is decreasing with steps, kind

1132
03:22:51.000 --> 03:23:10.000
of skills shows the amplitude of the converted waves as a fraction of P waves amplitude with deeper colors suggesting a strong, a stronger velocity contrast across the discontinuities in this profile, we can very easily identify the mobile discontinuity,

1133
03:23:10.000 --> 03:23:33.000
which is shown as a very strong horizontal positive velocity gradient, sit at about 40 to 45 kilometer bunnies station 123, and at about an at about 30 to 35 kilometer police station for to station 15, and we observe prominent step like change have more

1134
03:23:33.000 --> 03:23:50.000
depth between station three and the station for. In addition to the mobile features. We also observe a strong positive velocity gradient bunny's station seven, eight and nine and a couple of elongate West dipping positive velocity gradient in both crust

1135
03:23:50.000 --> 03:24:07.000
and the least experimental and also some traces of negative velocity ingredients in the mental combining seismic profile with surface jewel with surface geology, we can start to interpret these seismic discontinuities in light of constraints provided

1136
03:24:07.000 --> 03:24:10.000
by surface geologic geological units.

1137
03:24:10.000 --> 03:24:27.000
So, our first, the feature number one is the mobile step, we can see that it is located directly beneath the boundary between Lorenza and our creative terrains on the surface and feature number two is the possible velocity ingredient, located directly

1138
03:24:27.000 --> 03:24:27.000
bunnies Hartford basin, which provides It was a very straightforward explanation.

1139
03:24:27.000 --> 03:24:46.000
harmful basin, which provides it with a very straightforward explanation. This positive allows the gradient is likely to represent the interface between the slow sedimentary rock in the hardcore basin and the fat and the faster crystal and basement rocks

1140
03:24:46.000 --> 03:24:47.000
beneath.

1141
03:24:47.000 --> 03:25:02.000
And the feature number three is the West keeping positive velocity gradient in the crust, and we can see that the eastern end of this feature kind of connects to the Western margin of Avalon during the force of feature is the West dipping positive velocity

1142
03:25:02.000 --> 03:25:05.000
ingredient in the list of spark mental.

1143
03:25:05.000 --> 03:25:14.000
As we can see, this feature actually cuts across the entire profile and all the surface Joe geologists features and the feature five and six.

1144
03:25:14.000 --> 03:25:24.000
Natural velocity green and in the mental the likely represents either made the list asparagus continuity, or the list of sphere as sinister boundary.

1145
03:25:24.000 --> 03:25:36.000
In the following, I will focus on feature one three and four, which may have multiple potential explanations that have important implication on the tectonic history of cells in New England.

1146
03:25:36.000 --> 03:25:52.000
There are three potential origins of the large mobile step we observe. The first is pre existing differences in the Laurentian cross and the crust of the credit rings, said several previous studies have shown that the orange.

1147
03:25:52.000 --> 03:26:10.000
the orange and cross, cross is overall thicker than the crust of a creative rings, and also the P word velocity to ask way velocity ratio in the Laurentian crust is larger and larger P wave velocity to as we've been asking ratio will resulting shallow

1148
03:26:10.000 --> 03:26:16.000
mo hole. Then we then we observe in this profile.

1149
03:26:16.000 --> 03:26:19.000
However, although although there is.

1150
03:26:19.000 --> 03:26:30.000
Although this effect can by no means fully explained the existence of the mobile step, it can partially contribute to the large size of the mobile step.

1151
03:26:30.000 --> 03:26:37.000
The second plus the second origin is the oldest rustling apple, orange, during that two car garage any.

1152
03:26:37.000 --> 03:26:59.000
So during the creation of the more countering to Lorenza. The seduction polarity is likely to be Eastern dipping, and the Orange is the lower plate. So it is possible that during the during creation, the orange.

1153
03:26:59.000 --> 03:27:08.000
The third origin involves the collapse of the Acadian Altiplano. The Acadian Altiplano is a proposed

1154
03:27:08.000 --> 03:27:27.000
organic plateau produced during Acadian or progeny after Acadian progeny reduced tectonic stress, resulting gravitational collapse off this organic plateau, which largely things, the crust of the creative terrains, which may produce or amplify amplify

1155
03:27:27.000 --> 03:27:27.000
this mobile step.

1156
03:27:27.000 --> 03:27:40.000
step. Another interesting feature is the West the deepening possible velocity gradient in across, which is denoted as a feature number three on this feature.

1157
03:27:40.000 --> 03:27:59.000
This feature can be explained by crust assure zones, creating during sharing occasions, the largest share defamation may lead to Crystal graphic preferred orientation of cross the minerals, resulting seismic anisotropy shown as discontinuities in our

1158
03:27:59.000 --> 03:28:14.000
image. This feature can be up one continuous feature, or like two separate features with a western portion connects to the surface and how round the eastern margin of hospital basin and and Bronson to arc.

1159
03:28:14.000 --> 03:28:30.000
And, and the eastern portion connects to the surface and around the western margin of the Avalon jewelry, then it is possible that the western portion of this PVG me represents the Selenium suture associated with the creation of the cafeteria.

1160
03:28:30.000 --> 03:28:39.000
And the eastern portion of it, then represents the occasion surgeon associated with the creation of Avalon touring.

1161
03:28:39.000 --> 03:28:57.000
However, it is also possible that the feature number three is one continuous feature associated with occasional progeny, and it's geometry is distorted by younger tectonic events like the collapse of origin plateau, or Mesozoic corrupting.

1162
03:28:57.000 --> 03:29:03.000
And the feature number four is kind of counterpart of the feature number three in the least experimental.

1163
03:29:03.000 --> 03:29:20.000
It's also a wet gentle a West dipping passive velocity ingredient, given its steps continuation and gentle a dipping geometry, it likely correspond to the mobile have a relic slap from pastors adoption events.

1164
03:29:20.000 --> 03:29:27.000
Since the eastern end of this feature. Similarly, extends further to the east to the Avalon terrain.

1165
03:29:27.000 --> 03:29:47.000
It is intuitive to assume that this abduction event associated with this relics lab is younger than the Acadian origin, then it may represent a broken off slab during the new Acadia Rajini, but it is, it is contentious whether new Acadian or Rajan exists

1166
03:29:47.000 --> 03:29:56.000
as the latitude of southern New England. The other possibility is that it's um it's a Radek slab.

1167
03:29:56.000 --> 03:30:10.000
Due to the production of the Reich ocean, leading to the Anakin your progeny. Although the subduction polarity during Anakin Dr. Rajan is also contentious, but in order to make the granite slab of this size.

1168
03:30:10.000 --> 03:30:20.000
We only need 10 million years, assuming a typical, a typical production rate of four or five centimeter per year.

1169
03:30:20.000 --> 03:30:35.000
And then so it is possible that at least during some period of time save 10 million years. During the closure of like oceans of action proudly made be West opinion and which produced this Radek slap, we seeing our image.

1170
03:30:35.000 --> 03:30:47.000
Yet another interesting possibility is that the feature number four, may actually be a continuation of feature number three, given that we have so similar dipping slope.

1171
03:30:47.000 --> 03:31:08.000
And then the feature number three and number four war one single continuous feature associated with Acadian or progeny and but it was later displays and a separated, then it is kind of intriguing that what kind of tectonic process can decouple and displays

1172
03:31:08.000 --> 03:31:18.000
cross and mental by 150 kilometer. It may be an interesting future topic to further investigate this possibility.

1173
03:31:18.000 --> 03:31:34.000
In conclusion, we conducted the PTS research function analysis our dense seismic array across northern Connecticut to investigate little sparks structures, and we observe a sharp mobile step, and several others that make these discontinuities in the digital

1174
03:31:34.000 --> 03:31:37.000
sphere with high resolution.

1175
03:31:37.000 --> 03:31:49.000
We have suggested several potential explanations for these features, but seismology only provide a snapshot of present day structure with no temporal information.

1176
03:31:49.000 --> 03:32:00.000
So our major future challenges to fully integrate seismic imaging with complimentary analysis that have better cut time constraints on these features.

1177
03:32:00.000 --> 03:32:08.000
And thank you for listening out your questions.

1178
03:32:08.000 --> 03:32:18.000
Thank you very much for a great talk, if there are any questions, you can go ahead and ask them live, or you can write them in the chat.

1179
03:32:18.000 --> 03:32:21.000
Bill, I see your hand.

1180
03:32:21.000 --> 03:32:40.000
Alright, thanks for the great talk. I'm looking at the dipping, a number three reflection dipping West. And I noticed that that job that you address going up right under the Hartford basin, and then back down again and I'm wondering if that job couldn't

1181
03:32:40.000 --> 03:32:45.000
just be an effect of Mesozoic drifting.

1182
03:32:45.000 --> 03:32:49.000
Yeah, as I mentioned, like so.

1183
03:32:49.000 --> 03:33:04.000
If there are two possibilities. One possibility is that this feature number three's was one continuous feature, and it was this geometry was like later just thought it danza master interesting, maybe one candidate to like kind of distort the geometry

1184
03:33:04.000 --> 03:33:22.000
of this feature. Okay, Thank you, and I just while I'm on just, you know, refuting versus arrived uni it just seems like they would produce such different things and yet we can't distinguish them and I guess I'm biased against major refuting producing

1185
03:33:22.000 --> 03:33:32.000
major I'm biased for that, that major, major features are, are caused by major crystal refining.

1186
03:33:32.000 --> 03:33:48.000
But I'm not an expert in so thank you yeah it's like as I said, we only have a kind of the president in present day like snapshot so it's kind of integrate integration of like all the past events is kind of hard to like separate the effects from different

1187
03:33:48.000 --> 03:33:52.000
time period.

1188
03:33:52.000 --> 03:33:55.000
Yeah, is Roger block.

1189
03:33:55.000 --> 03:34:10.000
Your, your comment that three and four might have been the same feature offset perked my ears. And I looked at a poster that Doug Roche and I put together for any gsa.

1190
03:34:10.000 --> 03:34:24.000
2019. And we postulated a similar geometry for the salinity suture offset in the Acadian and suggested there could be 200 kilometers of offset on that.

1191
03:34:24.000 --> 03:34:31.000
So, what you were saying all of a sudden reminded me of ourselves.

1192
03:34:31.000 --> 03:34:47.000
Couple years ago. And it'd be interesting to maybe perhaps follow up with you on that. Yeah, sure, of course, and also like eager to buy know is, is either like you know, special feature like in this region or it's more like a universal stuff that is

1193
03:34:47.000 --> 03:34:57.000
other like regions you know the origins. You're right. Right, exactly and preserving it also by the way, for that long is seems a bit odd but anyway.

1194
03:34:57.000 --> 03:35:04.000
It looked like our cartoon, or cross section that we put together.

1195
03:35:04.000 --> 03:35:07.000
Thank you. Thank you.

1196
03:35:07.000 --> 03:35:20.000
Another couple of questions in the chat, maybe you can go ahead and start answering them through the chat directly and then we can keep the conversation going after our poster session.

1197
03:35:20.000 --> 03:35:26.000
Sure, thank you very much for your presentation.

1198
03:35:26.000 --> 03:35:32.000
If you don't mind, stop. Yeah. Excellent.

1199
03:35:32.000 --> 03:35:54.000
So the following two presentations are posters. So I'm gonna share them they will run for five minutes and then we have five minutes for discussion.

1200
03:35:54.000 --> 03:35:57.000
So, hello everyone, thank you for coming to my talk.

1201
03:35:57.000 --> 03:36:08.000
So today I'm going to be talking about the main results from the seismic experiment for imaging the structure beneath Connecticut, or size con for short.

1202
03:36:08.000 --> 03:36:20.000
So, New England's complicated superficial geology reflects millions of years of tectonic processes where there have been several drifting mountain building events.

1203
03:36:20.000 --> 03:36:38.000
However, the way that these tectonic events that have shaped the deeper story remains fairly elusive. So, we are interested in learning more about the past, and ongoing processes that have shaped and are still shaping the latest peer and upper mantle

1204
03:36:38.000 --> 03:36:44.000
sudden the deep Earth structure may provide further insights to new influence formation.

1205
03:36:44.000 --> 03:36:53.000
So, little bit about size con in general, was it appointments of 15 seismic stations that collected data for about four years.

1206
03:36:53.000 --> 03:37:07.000
Stations traversed number of tectonic boundaries along Connecticut, in a relatively short distance, the seismic data that the station's collected is the way that we're able to probe deeper than the first place.

1207
03:37:07.000 --> 03:37:16.000
So we use the principles of seismic anisotropy or the directional dependence of seismic waves to constrain deform structure.

1208
03:37:16.000 --> 03:37:25.000
So, how it works, is that waves passing through and and ice tropic medium, who gets split and fast and slow components.

1209
03:37:25.000 --> 03:37:34.000
And usually it's the greater the delay time between the fast and slow, the stronger the anisotropy is.

1210
03:37:34.000 --> 03:37:42.000
Additionally, the direction that weighs want to travel the fast track to travel is known as the past polarization direction.

1211
03:37:42.000 --> 03:37:57.000
And in our process of analysis used a specific type of seismic waveform, known as SKS, which is important because it's a means that we're sampling the earth directly underneath the observer.

1212
03:37:57.000 --> 03:38:11.000
So, in our analysis we use the methods transverse component minimization, which is an event by event basis, and the other being the multi channel, which is more collective.

1213
03:38:11.000 --> 03:38:22.000
So for the transverse can put them in position. Most of the observations that we found for Knowles, meaning that they were seismic ways that didn't display splitting.

1214
03:38:22.000 --> 03:38:36.000
So, the ones that were split were able to see them on stereo plots, which is a function of back as myth that direction from which the seismic wave came from an incidence angle.

1215
03:38:36.000 --> 03:38:54.000
And so what we see here is that some size but there's stereo plots have different fast polarization directions for the same plot meaning that there are multiple layers of anisotropy present.

1216
03:38:54.000 --> 03:39:09.000
And then for the multi channel method here, we're able to see that we can see the results through scientific data plots, which is a function of back as Smith and splitting intensity.

1217
03:39:09.000 --> 03:39:16.000
So this is just another way of getting the same two parameters that polarization direction and delete time.

1218
03:39:16.000 --> 03:39:28.000
The amplitude corresponds to the delay time, and the areas where it crosses the x axis are the fast polarization direction.

1219
03:39:28.000 --> 03:39:33.000
And so to put this board and a geological context.

1220
03:39:33.000 --> 03:39:37.000
We overlay the results on geological maps.

1221
03:39:37.000 --> 03:39:53.000
And so, for the transverse component here, we see that even though there's a bit of scattering, there's still some patterns that emerge, such as here in the West, where they're the same on the same terrain.

1222
03:39:53.000 --> 03:40:06.000
The station's display north east, South West passport ization directions. And an interesting one here is that station six here.

1223
03:40:06.000 --> 03:40:24.000
It's parallel to the trend of the Hartford basin, being that there's some correlation there. And then for the multi channel method, there's less variability, and that's polarization direction but there's definitely a significant amount of a delay time

1224
03:40:24.000 --> 03:40:44.000
where there's longer in the West and short in the east. And so, to explain this we propose two different results and, is this the spirit differences. And the other thing that there are let this period differences that contribute to these contributions.

1225
03:40:44.000 --> 03:40:47.000
And so,

1226
03:40:47.000 --> 03:40:53.000
thank you very much, and to learn more, please see our paper

1227
03:40:53.000 --> 03:41:00.000
stuff.

1228
03:41:00.000 --> 03:41:02.000
Excellent.

1229
03:41:02.000 --> 03:41:06.000
Sorry I completely forgot to read the title.

1230
03:41:06.000 --> 03:41:12.000
But if you are here if you could please unmute yourself.

1231
03:41:12.000 --> 03:41:16.000
Yeah. Hi, I'm here.

1232
03:41:16.000 --> 03:41:18.000
Sorry that it was so quiet.

1233
03:41:18.000 --> 03:41:32.000
That's okay, that happens. And I can go back and show you the game but if there are any questions please go ahead and ask

1234
03:41:32.000 --> 03:41:52.000
the. Any questions for Ethan.

1235
03:41:52.000 --> 03:42:05.000
Done. Is there anything that you want to add, given that the volume was a little low and people might have missed some parts of your presentation, right yeah so feel free to go back and listen to the presentation again.

1236
03:42:05.000 --> 03:42:15.000
Hopefully the audio would be better but a balloon part of the video that I wasn't very happy. Just because of time constraints was just talking about the discussion.

1237
03:42:15.000 --> 03:42:25.000
And so, I just want to elaborate that the main points from the studies were that there's

1238
03:42:25.000 --> 03:42:43.000
consistent fast polarization directions where you're taking long averages but there's a lot more scatter when you're looking at just individual events, meaning that the dominant force is from the stratosphere, and that there are secondary effects from

1239
03:42:43.000 --> 03:42:53.000
the lip is fear. And so to explain this, and explain why there is such a big difference and delay times between the size constellations from west to east.

1240
03:42:53.000 --> 03:43:08.000
There's two different models that are proposed. So one is that the reason that there's such a big delay time is that there is a region known as the northern Appalachian normally.

1241
03:43:08.000 --> 03:43:24.000
So it's a region of low upper mental velocity and so it's possible that that's dipping into the eastern portion of the cycle size Connery, meaning that it's going to decrease the delay times.

1242
03:43:24.000 --> 03:43:36.000
And the other possibility is that it's within the lettuce beer, so it's that there's more destructive interference going on there stronger but the Spirit components towards the east.

1243
03:43:36.000 --> 03:43:51.000
And so those are going to cancel out the main plate motion, sharing effects that we see. So that's mostly what I wanted to say thank you.

1244
03:43:51.000 --> 03:44:04.000
Absolutely, thank you for clarifying that.

1245
03:44:04.000 --> 03:44:32.000
Are there any questions. Yes, a quick question from Bob when you speak of the MSRP, and the waves you're looking at our nearly vertical. So, is this an integrated to refer orientation over the whole spirit mantle, or is, is it affected by

1246
03:44:32.000 --> 03:44:37.000
more shallow or more deeper parks.

1247
03:44:37.000 --> 03:44:44.000
Right. So, I guess, mostly what we see comes from the upper mantle, even though there are.

1248
03:44:44.000 --> 03:45:05.000
I guess Maureen's pregnancy had something else what sorry. Um, so, the largest components coming from the upper mantle of the reduces some contributions for the crust, except the crust is so small, it's just going to be about like, I'd say like 10% of

1249
03:45:05.000 --> 03:45:08.000
the total anisotropy that we can see.

1250
03:45:08.000 --> 03:45:18.000
So it's mostly deeper within the earth that we're seeing this anisotropy.

1251
03:45:18.000 --> 03:45:32.000
So the. I was wondering about the Olympus very manual which might go from 30 or 40 kilometers to more than 100 over that range, is there any localization.

1252
03:45:32.000 --> 03:45:36.000
Yeah, I guess.

1253
03:45:36.000 --> 03:45:51.000
There's localization when you're looking at just individual places but if you're looking at it more long term, why back asthma three inches. Then we see less variability.

1254
03:45:51.000 --> 03:46:02.000
And we see that it's pretty consistent and it's pointing along plate motion sharing with some counter clockwise.

1255
03:46:02.000 --> 03:46:07.000
Patterns going from west to east.

1256
03:46:07.000 --> 03:46:10.000
Okay.

1257
03:46:10.000 --> 03:46:12.000
Thank you.

1258
03:46:12.000 --> 03:46:28.000
So we're moving on into the last poster of this session, which is by medicine Rosen which is going to present the evidence of trash sheet thickening in a region of out of sequence thrust folding in the Taconic progeny wedge.

1259
03:46:28.000 --> 03:46:51.000
Again, I'm going to play her video and then we will have time for discussion.

1260
03:46:51.000 --> 03:46:55.000
Hopefully my internet will allow us.

1261
03:46:55.000 --> 03:47:04.000
Unfortunate unfortunately we cannot download this presentation so thank you for checking out my poster. My name is Madison Muslim, and I'm a master student at University of Connecticut.

1262
03:47:04.000 --> 03:47:12.000
Today I'm presenting about evidence for a spreadsheet thickening in a region of out of sequence stars faulting and the mechanic organic which.

1263
03:47:12.000 --> 03:47:19.000
Here's the geologic map of the northern region that to clinical oxygen and getting big spreadsheet, which is located in New York and Vermont.

1264
03:47:19.000 --> 03:47:32.000
The mechanical Auckland develops during the order division to connect progeny, and is comprised of three structural demands northern central and southern these domains under one regional folding the development of sweetie cleavage.

1265
03:47:32.000 --> 03:47:46.000
And out of sequence dress vaulting. Today I'm specifically going to be talking about the central domain which consists of two sub domains, an area of high street in the east and a larger area of relatively low straight in the West.

1266
03:47:46.000 --> 03:47:58.000
Looking from west to east and the central domain, out of sequence thrust faulting become more prevalent and criminalization cleavage locally develops here.

1267
03:47:58.000 --> 03:48:12.000
As we can see, these are staring at this show site mean orientation data collected from the low Street and high stream subdomains the light blue color represents the low strain sub domain and the blue color represents the highest rates of domain, black

1268
03:48:12.000 --> 03:48:14.000
lines is just means.

1269
03:48:14.000 --> 03:48:24.000
As you can see from the steering that's the high street is characterized by north northeast striking cleavage which is similar to the overall trend of the mechanical oxen.

1270
03:48:24.000 --> 03:48:29.000
In contrast, the lowest rate and sub domain is characterized by north northwest striking cleavage.

1271
03:48:29.000 --> 03:48:44.000
Now we're going to look at the history games for the site mean orientation data. This data shows that the stretching delineation for the low string sub domain is ranking to the south while in the high street sub domain, the situation is dumped it.

1272
03:48:44.000 --> 03:49:03.000
Now, this contrast is important because it shows that the low strain subdomain has a complex 3d defamation whereas the down deep searching limitation and the high stream so domain is really going to allow for an in depth 2d analysis using our versus data

1273
03:49:03.000 --> 03:49:05.000
Prep diagrams.

1274
03:49:05.000 --> 03:49:18.000
Now, if you look at these are vs data prime diagrams for the high stream sub domain, you're going to see two different scenarios. The first is simple share plus volume change, and the second we're going to be looking at a simple shear and peer share with

1275
03:49:18.000 --> 03:49:28.000
no volume change designs represent present work with solid lines for horizontal threads she while dashed lines have a 10 degrees east of being spreadsheet.

1276
03:49:28.000 --> 03:49:39.000
The red circles represent password with solid circles is horizontal spreadsheet and open, open circles account for a 10 degree east of being fresh sheet.

1277
03:49:39.000 --> 03:49:48.000
So, for the simple sheer and volume change graph you can see that it's internally inconsistent with all the one site plotting in the volume game field.

1278
03:49:48.000 --> 03:49:57.000
Now if you look at the simple sheer and peers here with no volume change graph you can see that most of the stream data is putting in a thickening shares.

1279
03:49:57.000 --> 03:50:12.000
So the high stream subdomains strain data really suggest that the getting broke stress she underwent thickening in order to maintain the critical taper angle of the origin neck which in this interpretation is really supported by the prevalence of out

1280
03:50:12.000 --> 03:50:15.000
of sequence trust falls in the highest strand sub domain.

1281
03:50:15.000 --> 03:50:32.000
So now we're going to look at this cross section here and the cross section of the conical oxen has the central domain labeled, you can see the low and high strain sub domain and context and also where the bird mountain thrust fault is which is similar

1282
03:50:32.000 --> 03:50:35.000
to all the other thrust falls in the area.

1283
03:50:35.000 --> 03:50:37.000
in the highest ranked subdomains specifically.

1284
03:50:37.000 --> 03:50:53.000
So, according to critical wedge theory, we know that the critical table angle of the chronic, Oregon, organic wedge was most likely maintained through this balance and dynamic relationship of out of sequence.

1285
03:50:53.000 --> 03:51:04.000
mountain trustful, and, and, in sequence thrust falls in the 12, the wedge. We know that out of sequence thrust faults they thicken the wedge while in sequence them.

1286
03:51:04.000 --> 03:51:06.000
So we have this dynamic important balance.

1287
03:51:06.000 --> 03:51:18.000
So, looking at all the stream data that was collected so far you can also see that the penetrative stream also supports this idea that the high street and sub domain is a ticketing shares them.

1288
03:51:18.000 --> 03:51:34.000
So the combination of the artists egos thrust faults that are characteristic of this area the stream data that's collected, it really solidifies this notion that the thickening of the organic wedge was localized to this area of the getting Brooks spreadsheet.

1289
03:51:34.000 --> 03:51:57.000
I would really like to thank, Jennifer Cooper Bumbles for her assistance in the field, and with this project, and this work was supported by a Geological Society of America, student research grant, and really thank you so much for listening to my presentation.

1290
03:51:57.000 --> 03:51:59.000
Excellent.

1291
03:51:59.000 --> 03:52:10.000
So I'm just going to stop sharing so that we can see each other but any question for this presentation are welcome nice presentation.

1292
03:52:10.000 --> 03:52:21.000
Yeah, sorry, um, I hope you guys can hear me but sorry about the resolution, I'm guessing that there was a second internet connection problem. So, I promise it's high quality resolution.

1293
03:52:21.000 --> 03:52:36.000
But if you guys have any questions you can just ask me or I can actually just show the poster and what it really looks like.

1294
03:52:36.000 --> 03:52:51.000
Yeah, if you want to go ahead and show your screen you're definitely welcome to do that. Oh, I don't have a pulled up right now, but, um, I don't know why the internet connection but it looked fine on my computer but it's totally possible that through

1295
03:52:51.000 --> 03:52:57.000
the, you know, the transition between my screen, and the internet.

1296
03:52:57.000 --> 03:53:07.000
I apologize for that.

1297
03:53:07.000 --> 03:53:08.000
Madison.

1298
03:53:08.000 --> 03:53:11.000
This is called Washington.

1299
03:53:11.000 --> 03:53:25.000
Is it your direction of motion was more or less consistent between the out of sequence and in sequence, our motion.

1300
03:53:25.000 --> 03:53:33.000
Yeah. Everything is dipping east. So, um, if you looked at the field area. I'm throughout the central domain, everything is dipping east.

1301
03:53:33.000 --> 03:53:41.000
Throughout the central domain, everything is dipping east. We just have see this strange difference.

1302
03:53:41.000 --> 03:54:00.000
As you can see on the R vs data prime diagrams, versus the high street and low strand sub domain so even though there's a string difference there was dipping east as you can see from the steering that's okay.

1303
03:54:00.000 --> 03:54:10.000
Thank you.

1304
03:54:10.000 --> 03:54:34.000
Alright so we have five more minutes, and then they will cut us out so I guess I would like to open the floor for questions of previous stocks for the next couple of minutes if there are any.

1305
03:54:34.000 --> 03:54:35.000
Okay.

1306
03:54:35.000 --> 03:54:44.000
Yeah, I think if Greg is still around. I don't know if either Greg here.

1307
03:54:44.000 --> 03:54:47.000
I had a question about the Adirondacks.

1308
03:54:47.000 --> 03:54:55.000
Seems like he might be gone.

1309
03:54:55.000 --> 03:54:59.000
I question is going to be kept for later.

1310
03:54:59.000 --> 03:55:05.000
I think that everybody has always had questions about the Adirondacks.

1311
03:55:05.000 --> 03:55:22.000
And that is an option to keep the conversation going by using the any GSA web page that is a space for chopping question in them page that you use to log into the zoom session.

1312
03:55:22.000 --> 03:55:26.000
I had a question for young cow,

1313
03:55:26.000 --> 03:55:39.000
which is with your refined data that would move the mo whoa step over a little to the east relative to the earlier maps.

1314
03:55:39.000 --> 03:55:57.000
I'm sorry the moat move the mobile step to the east, work with a surface expression on the previous maps where you would draw the most step is it with your refined data doesn't move a little bit to the east, as you would draw on a map.

1315
03:55:57.000 --> 03:56:15.000
Oh yes so it's not like directly beneath the surface boundary, like between the Lauren show ended up creating stories, so the boundary as the depth is not is there as a little like sub longitude to offset.

1316
03:56:15.000 --> 03:56:31.000
Thanks.

1317
03:56:31.000 --> 03:56:47.000
Are there any other questions.

1318
03:56:47.000 --> 03:57:03.000
Seems like there's not but I think what I want to sell is, thank you very much for all the contributors, for their great submissions great presentations, and thank you for all of you to coming to this online meeting.

1319
03:57:03.000 --> 03:57:14.000
We all wish to see each other next time in person, so that we can have lengthy conversations and real drinks together.

1320
03:57:14.000 --> 03:57:15.000
Yeah.

1321
03:57:15.000 --> 03:57:31.000
They're really good discussions and sessions this afternoon and tomorrow, please check them out as well. And we have three more minutes. Feel free to express your thoughts before we cut out.

1322
03:57:31.000 --> 03:57:34.000
Thanks everybody.

1323
03:57:34.000 --> 03:57:35.000
Oh, go ahead.

1324
03:57:35.000 --> 03:57:40.000
No, I was just saying thanks, great session, lots of fun.

1325
03:57:40.000 --> 03:58:00.000
I might say for the Lancaster meeting next year that Gail Ashley is I think in charge of the technical sessions, and may have already been sending out emails encouraging people to propose sessions, so I'll say that on her behalf

1326
03:58:00.000 --> 03:58:11.000
to convene as well it's, it's fantastic that you did this for such a remote session and and Three cheers to you for keeping it going.

1327
03:58:11.000 --> 03:58:26.000
Well thank you all for participating is always nice to have is such a in their disciplinary session, those are very interesting to hear from all of you and learn so much.

1328
03:58:26.000 --> 03:58:31.000
It's always good to see you ball.

1329
03:58:31.000 --> 03:58:52.000
Everyone thinks so.

1330
03:58:52.000 --> 03:58:57.000
Alright guys, feel free to disengage and leave.

1331

There's a great session this afternoon. If you're interested in hard rock, as most of the people who are here, madman magma mingling, so I'm sure I'll see most of you there, this afternoon.

Have a great rest of the day.
