The work will be a continuation of several lines of high-                       pressure, high temperature research at RPI aimed principally at                 shedding light on the rates and mechanisms of chemical transport                in rocks of the Earth's crust and upper mantle.  The focus is                   upon phenomena occurring between or among mineral grains,                       including: 1) CO2-H2O fluid wetting in a variety of crustal and                 upper mantle rocks; 2) kinetics of fluid generation by hydrous and              carbonate mineral breakdown; 3) transport of fluid away from its                source region by hydrofracture and/or grain-edge dissolution; 4)                metasomatic transport via a mobile fluid phase of trace elements                and radioactive/radiogenic isotopes; and 5) grain boundary                      diffusion in rocks lacking a free fluid phase.  The  results will               be applied to models of large- and small-scale chemical transport               in the Earth.
