| description: | The aim of the project is to: (1) continue petrological-geochemical investigation of Precambrian crust in Fennoscandia (incl. Estonia), (2) study the processes of mineral formation and modifications and spacial-temporal correlations of volcanic processes in Baltic palaeocontinent, (3) establish a ICP¿MS¿LAM laboratory. As a synergy point of the problems addressed serves the application and development of modern high resolution precise geochemical methods and consideration of geological processes at a generalising level using the concepts of self-organsation, critical states, geocomplexity and chaos. Peculiarities of Estonian bedrock formation and geotectonical position will be elucidated; the use of fractals in partial melting processes will be continued with an aim to develop a method for determining melting processes on the basis of migmatisation. Distribution of volcanic strata in the bedrock of Estonia and their geochemical peculiarities will be elucidated. All parts of the research include development of precision technique and later ¿ generalisation of lithospheric processes. |
