The rocks of the Alexander-Stikine suture zone in                          southeastern Alaska include the boundary between locally derived                geological terranes formed on the west coast of the North                       American plate and the exotic terranes which have, over                         geological time, migrated long distances due to the movement of                 the Pacific plate. Field studies in this zone by the principal                  investigator of this project will be focused on the global                      tectonic processes through which these distant terranes were                    displaced and finally joined on the western margin of North                     America. This proposal requests 50% of the funds required to                    purchase a small research boat for field transportation in this                 otherwise inaccessible region.                                                       The NSF-sponsored research in the geological history of the                rocks of the Alexander-Stikine suture zone of southeastern Alaska               will provide new and specific interpretations of the growth of                  continents during plate tectonic changes.
