Geochemical and isotopic studies of Acasta Gneiss Complex, the oldest terrestrial rock on Earth
Principal Investigator: Lee, Seung-Gu
Licensed Year(s): 2017
Summary: The objective of this project is to collect rock samples from the Acasta Gneiss Complex, the oldest terrestrial rock on Earth, and to find a geochemical proxy which can shed light on the studies of early Earth rare earth element geochemistry and cosmochemistry. The field research will be carried mostly spot to spot based on the published geologic maps of previous researchers. The research team ...


Examining the Acasta Gneiss Complex: A Broader Scope
Principal Investigator: Belosevic, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2016 2015
Summary: This study is designed to encompass the following goals: 1) Collect samples from the expanded Acasta Gneiss Complex (AGC) study area; 2) Perform field mapping and general exploration of the expanded study area; 3) Perform age dating and isotopic analysis of the collected samples along with whole-rock geochemistry to compare data with those in the extensively studied AGC body adjacent to the Acasta...


Geology of the Acasta Gneiss Complex: Decoding of early earth evolution
Principal Investigator: Komiya, Tsuyoshi
Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: The objectives are to conduct a geological survey and rock sampling in the Acasta Gneiss Complex to investigate evolution of the early earth. The Acasta Gneiss is the oldest rock in the world, and uniquely records the early earth. The Acasta Gneiss has many generations and a complex history including not only the magmatic formation with different ages but also deformations. Comprehensive works on ...
