Nazca Plate Study 



The Nazca Lithospheric Plate lies adjacent to the event edge of 

 the great metallogenesis province of the Andes. This area was the 

 subject of major field programs from 1972-75 by Oregon State 

 University and the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics in cooperation 

 with scientists from Chile, Columbia, Peru, and Ecuador. The 

 results were synthesized into comprehensive models of the Nazca 

 Plate that served as site surveys for subsequent drilling on 

 Offshore Drilling Project (OSDP) Leg 34 by the Glomar 

 Challenger. Three holes were drilled through the sedimentary 

 sequence into basement rocks, one in the Bauer Basin (metallifer- 

 ous sediments) and two on the seawater side of the Peru-Chile 

 Trench.

Manganese Nodule Program (MANOP) 



IDOE-sponsored studies of deep-sea manganese nodules 

 changed focus in 1977 with the initiation of MANOP (the new 

 Manganese Nodule Program). Its predecessor programs succes- 

 sively compiled unpublished data on distribution and composi- 

 tion of nodules, and surveyed and sampled a number of small 

 areas within the band of copper- and nickel-rich nodules south 

 and east of Hawaii. MANOP concentrated on the paths and 

 mechanisms that carry economically important elements, such as 

 copper and nickel, to the sea floor and lead to their incorporation 

 in the nodules.

Studies in East Asia Tectonics and Resources 

 (SEATAR) 



An international group of scientists performed a large-scale, 

 comprehensive investigation of the interplay between the regional 

 tectonics and the occurrences of metals and hydrocarbons in East 

 Asia. This project was based on recommendations of a workshop 

 held in Bangkok in 1973.
