US-USSR Workshop on Magnetohydrodynamic Stability (Suzdal, USSR: August 25-31, 1991)

非线性磁流体力学稳定性问题在地球物理学的框架内具有重要的意义，在物理学中也具有重要意义。预计，结合美国和苏联科学家的互补专业知识将产生与更好地理解地球磁场以及行星和太阳磁场的行为和产生的基本机制有关的重大成果。这次美苏合作科学研讨会由芝加哥伊利诺伊大学的苏珊·弗里德兰德博士和苏联科学院国际地震预报理论和数学地球物理研究所的M·M·维西克博士组织，将汇集来自美国和苏联的杰出科学家，他们的专业知识范围涵盖应用数学、数学物理、天体物理和地球物理。预计这次初次会议将在这一领域产生更多的长期合作活动。该项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和苏联的顶尖研究人员能够在平等、互惠的基础上，将基础科学研究领域中共同感兴趣和能力强的领域的必要努力和能力结合起来，和互惠互利。

Problems of nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic stability are of considerable interest in the framework of geophysics as well as of fundamental importance in physics. It is anticipated that combining the complementary expertise of U.S. and Soviet scientists will lead to significant results related to better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms by which the Earth's magnetic field as well as planetary and solar magnetic fields behave and are generated. This U.S.-U.S.S.R. cooperative scientific workshop, organized by Dr. Susan Friedlander of the University of Illinois at Chicago and Dr. M. M. Vishik of the USSR Academy of Sciences' International Institute of Earthquake Prediction Theory and Mathematical Geophysics, will bring together distinguished scientists from the United States and the Soviet Union whose range of expertise covers applied mathematics, mathematical physics, astrophysics, and geophysics. It is expected that this initial meeting will generate further long-term collaborative activities in this field. 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 comple- mentary 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.
