The Continental Margins Initiative--Phase II

为国家研究理事会海洋研究委员会在规划大陆边缘倡议方面的持续活动提供了资金。这项规划是通过美国核管理委员会海洋研究委员会和地球科学与资源委员会下属的一个委员会进行的。较早的一次讲习班认识到有必要确定面向过程和跨学科的边缘研究问题，以便进一步了解岩石圈趋同和分歧。资金将用于1990年底和1991年在核管理委员会主持下举行的讲习班，以进一步规划和完成科学和业务计划。研习班的费用将由NSF、NOAA、USGS和ONR共同承担。一半的经费由国家科学基金会提供。

Funds are provided for continued activities of Ocean Studies Board of the National Research Council in the planning of the Continental Margins initiative. The planning is being undertaken through a committee under the Ocean Studies Board and Board on Earth Science and Resources of the NRC. An earlier workshop recognized the need to identify research issue on the margins that are process oriented and interdisciplinary in order to further the understanding of lithospheric convergence and divergence. Funds will be used for workshops to be held under the NRC aegis in late 1990 and 1991 for further planning and completion of a Science and Operational Plans. The cost of workshops will be shared by NSF, NOAA, USGS and ONR. Half of the funds are provided by NSF.
