Synthesis of the Tectonic, Magmatic, and Metallogenic Evolution of the Midcontinent Rift System
The overall project objective is to develop a comprehensive synthesis of the tectonic, magmatic, and metallogenic evolution of the Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) through time by integrating geophysical, magmatic, and geochemical data and to create 3-D models of the rift over its evolution.
