Guo Liang Shen oral history interview and transcript
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. This collection includes audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with Asian Americans native to or living in Houston.Dr. Guo Liang Shen was born in the Jiangsu province of China in 1942. His hometown was
destroyed when the Japan invaded in 1937 and his family became refugees as a result. Despite a difficult
childhood, Dr. Shen excelled in his studies in school and was accepted into Peking Union Medical
College (PUMC) and studied to be a physician. He was part of the last cohort of medical students being
formally trained when the Cultural Revolution abruptly stopped his studies and he was then sent to
Runhuai county in Guizhou province to serve as physician, learning traditional Chinese medicine from
those who lived there. He went on to get a Master’s degree in Immunology at PUMC and the Chinese
Academy of Medical Sciences before immigrating to the United States to do research on monoclonal
antibodies at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. After decades of working as a
researcher, Dr. Shen retired in 2012 and moved to Houston. He enjoys photography, and brought prints of
his photos from his trip to China and photos of birds at High Island, Texas

Seafloor basalt alteration and chemical change in the ultra thinly sedimented South Pacific
No full textDetermining the relationship between ocean floor basalt alteration and sedimentation is fundamental to understanding how oceanic crust evolves with time. Ocean floor basalts recovered at IODP Sites U1365 (?100 Ma) and U1368 (?13.5 Ma) in the South Pacific have been subjected to remarkably low sedimentation rates (0.71 and 1.1 m/Myr?1, respectively). We report detailed petrographic and geochemical analysis of basalt cores from these sites in order to investigate what impact sediment insulation has on seafloor alteration beyond 10–15 Myr of ocean crust formation. Both sites exhibit low-temperature (<150°C) alteration (e.g., iron-hydroxides, carbonate, and quartz) within a predominantly oxidative regime, albeit with markedly different alteration styles and intensity. Alteration at Site U1365, which is predominantly composed of sheet flows, occurs mainly near sheet flow boundaries and fractures. In contrast, Site U1368 comprises interlayered pillows and thin sheet flows that have been subjected to relatively even levels of alteration. Variation of alteration style and intensity between Sites U1365 and U1368 appear closely tied to lithology and crustal structure. Although alteration-induced elemental changes at both sites are similar in, e.g., increasing K, Rb, U, Ba, and Fe3+ and decreasing Fe2+, Ca, and Ni, they show distinct differences in Th, which is significantly decreased at Site U1365 but relatively constant at Site U1368. At both sites enrichment of LREEs relative to HREEs is ascribed to alteration. The greater vein abundance and notably higher Fe3+/TiO2, K2O/TiO2, LOI/TiO2, and Rb/TiO2 ratios of representative samples at Site U1365 compared to Site U1368 are attributed to increased alteration intensity. This is mirrored by greater overall chemical change (Fe2O3, FeO, CaO, K2O, Li, Rb, Pb, and U) observed at Site U1365 than those of Site U1368 and other DSDP/ODP sites between 6 and 46 Ma. Since both Sites U1365 and U1368 endured only minimal sedimentation, we attribute the differences in overall chemical change across the two sites to duration of exposure to seawater
