Workshop on Interdisciplinary Crustal Studies, Southeast Alaska and British Columbia

该奖项为一个研讨会提供支持，以制定一项计划， 研究阿拉斯加东南部的加积， 不列颠哥伦比亚省的邻近部分。 地质学家和 在该地区拥有丰富经验的地球化学家将 与拥有成像专业知识的放射学家一起 地壳深部的特征 由于水路的网络 在阿拉斯加东南部，将有可能利用物流 利用海上/陆上地震的科学优势 成像技术。 地质界有一个很好的工作， 了解该地区岩石类型的分布， 它们的形成和演化的模式。 现在需要的是 对结构的性质和分布的限制， 地壳底部和上地幔的岩石。 在研讨会上，该地区的整体构造历史将 提出，然后进行讨论，以确定 什么样的地球物理技术可以用来解决 主要问题以及它们最好应用于何处。

This award provides support for a workshop to formulate a plan of research to study terrane accretion in southeast Alaska and adjacent portions of British Columbia. Geologists and geochemists who have extensive experience in the region will be brought together with geophysicists who have expertise imaging features in the deep crust. Because of the network of water ways in southeast Alaska, it will be possible to exploit the logistic and scientific advantages of using offshore/onshore seismic imaging techniques. The geological community has a good working understanding of the distribution of rock types in the area and models for their formation and evolution. What is now needed are constraints on the nature and distribution of structures and lithologies to the base of the crust and into the upper mantle. At the workshop, the overall tectonic history of the region will be presented, followed by discussions leading to a determination of what geophysical techniques could be used to resolve the major questions and where they could best be applied.
