This is a project to complete a geochronology and                          geochemical study of the well-sampled Reunion hot spot track.                   PI will do 40Ar--39Ar geochronology and geochemical work on                     five sites along the track:  The Deccan basalts (geochronology                  only), basalts from deep industry wells on Mascerene Plateau,                   dredged vocanics from the Rodrigues Ridge, and late-stage                       basaltic volcanism form Mauritius.  These data will be coupled                  with that obtained from four sites from ODP leg 115.  Precise                   dating of Deccans will determine correlation of these with K-T                  extinction and the other work will address a number of                          questions relating to the evolution of the hot spot through                     time.                                                                           %%%                                                                                  Hot spot volcanism is a process of fundamental importance                  in the earth and can shed light on basic earth processes such                   as the motion of lithospheric plates through time, relative to                  the mantle.  The geochemical studies might provide information                  on documented record of hot spot volcanism going back to 65                     million years before present and is the best sampled hot spot                   track on the earth, so the data will be especially useful.
