Exploratory Visit to Yakut Science Center, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, to Discuss Joint Research on Tectonicsof Northeast Siberia

这个旅行奖的目的是让三个美国人 研究极北方地区构造的专家 密歇根州立大学的藤田和也博士和约翰博士 N.戴维斯和大卫B。阿拉斯加大学的斯通在 费尔班克斯-1990年7月访问苏联， 美国进行长期合作的可行性-苏联合作社 构造裂陷和变形过程的初步研究 在西伯利亚东北部。 苏联的领导机构， 西伯利亚分部地质研究所（雅库特分支） 位于雅库茨克的苏联科学院， 让美国队去实地考察 沿着遥远的因迪吉尔卡河寻找潜在的研究地点。 在 除了提供以前访问的机会外， 无法访问的研究网站，这项研究可能会导致 地震学和古地磁学的数据， 支持或否定当前的构造模型， 北极的演变。 该项目实现了推进 科学知识，使领先的研究人员在 美苏要联合收割机互补 共同感兴趣领域的努力和能力 在基础科研领域的能力 平等、互惠、互利的基础。

The purpose of this travel award is to allow three American specialists in the tectonics of extreme northern regions - Dr. Kazuya Fujita of Michigan State University and Drs. John N. Davies and David B. Stone of the University of Alaska at Fairbanks - to visit the U.S.S.R. in July 1990 to determine the feasibility of conducting long-term U.S.-U.S.S.R. coopera- tive research on tectonic rifting and deformational processes in northeastern Siberia. The lead Soviet institution, the Institute of Geology of the Siberian Division (Yakut Branch) of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Yakutsk, has arranged for the American team to make a field trip to one of the potential research sites along the remote Indigirka river. In addition to offering the opportunity of visiting previously inaccessible research sites, this study could result in seismological and paleomagnetic data that could be invaluable in supporting or invalidating current models of the tectonic evolution of the Arctic. This project fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading researchers in the United States and the U.S.S.R. to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence in the field of basic scientific research on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
