RIDGE Summer Institute for Theoretical Studies

RIDGE倡议的主要目标是了解 相互关联的地球物理、地球化学和地球生物学原因 以及全球海脊内能量转移的后果 系统通过时间。该计划的一个关键方面涉及 为理论整合领域提供了有力支持， 脊顶过程的实验室研究。的目的 暑期学院提供一个进步的环境， 关键的理论岭问题，需要一个内部- 纪律性的方法。暑期研究所的主题将 反映RIDGE所包含的学科范围 倡议1990年的主题是地幔流动，熔体生成， 和岩石圈的变形。研究所将 包括向所有感兴趣的各方开放的短期课程，以及 为大约30名研究人员举办了为期两周的密集讲习班， 学生RIDGE暑期学院代表了一个独特的 全球地理信息网络倡议为实现全球一体化 理论，航海和实验室为基础的组成部分， 参与脊顶研究的社区。

The primary goal of the RIDGE initiative is to understand the interlinked geophysical, geochemical and geobiological causes and consequences of energy transfer within the global ridge system through time. A key facet of this program involves providing strong support for theoretical integration of field and laboratory studies of ridge-crest processes. The purpose ofthe Summer Institute is to provide an environment of progresson critical theorectical RIDGE problems that require an inter- disciplinary approach. Topics for the Summer Institute will reflect the range of disciplines comprised by the RIDGE initiative. The topic for 1990 is mantle flow, melt generation, and lithospheric deformation at ridge crests. The Institute will consist of a short course open to all interested parties, and an intensive two-week workshop for approximately 30 researchers and students. The RIDGE Summer Institute represents a unique contribution offered by the RIDGE initiative to integrate theoretical, sea-going, and laboratory-based components of the community involed in ridge-crest research.
