Aerogeophysical Project Workshop

这笔拨款为美国科学家参加由极地项目部在布宜诺斯艾利斯召开的南极航空地球物理研究研讨会提供旅费支持。这次国际研讨会有几个目的。它将提供一个机会，主要是介绍刚刚在智利和阿根廷完成的为期三年的航空地球物理项目的成果，而且还将提出有关南极地球物理过程的关键问题，列举其他可用的支助设施，并考虑未来的国际合作实验，以帮助更深入地了解南极海洋的地球物理过程。航空地球物理项目由哥伦比亚大学的科学家指导，由海军研究实验室提供飞机支持。阿根廷南极研究所、阿根廷海军水文服务处、智利国家地质矿产服务处和智利南极研究所提供了科学专门知识和当地支助。讲习班将综合各种思想，为今后在国际一级进行多学科研究奠定基础，并在我们关于南极构造板块演化的概念观点方面取得重大进展。

This grant provides travel support for U.S. scientists to attend a workshop on antarctic airborne geophysical studies convened by the Division of Polar Programs in Buenos Aires. This international workshop has several purposes. It will afford an opportunity primarily to present the results of the just completed three year aerogeophysics project staged from Chile and Argentina, but also to formulate key questions concerning antarctic geophysical processes, enumerate other available support facilities, and consider future internationally cooperative experiments to help gain greater insight into antarctic marine geophysical processes. The aerogeophysics project was directed by scientists from Columbia University, with aircraft support provided by the Naval Research Laboratory. Scientific expertise and local support was provided by the Instituto Antartico Argentino, the Servicio de Hidrografia Naval Argentina, The Servicio Nacional de Geologia y Mineria de Chile, and INACH, the Chilean Antarctic Institute. The workshop will produce a synthesis of ideas that could form the basis for future multidisciplinary studies on an international level, and produce significant advances in our conceptual view of tectonic plate evolution in the Antarctic.
