Objectives
1 Characterize zircon geochemical evolution during transition from a compressional advancing arc system to a retreating extensional system 2 Characterize zircon geochemical fingerprints of a juvenile intra-oceanic arc system 3 Distinguish between more matured arcs and younger juvenile arcs via along strike analysis of the Indonesian arc system 4 Fingerprint a collisional island arc terrane within continental rocks, and track the transition from oceanic to a continental arc system 5 5. Statistically assess the influence or bias of grain size and clast composition on detrital zircon distributions
