This project will implement the initial phase of a multi-year, international cooperative project to collect deep seismic reflection data across the Himalaya/Tibet Plateau collision zone, the type example of a continent-continent collision. The goal of the project is to delineate the major structual features of the Tibetan lithosphere that have evolved during the collision process, and through this contribute substantially to an understanding of the evolution of continental lithosphere as a whole. During the initial phase of the project the principal investigators intend to carry out, in cooperation with the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources of the People's Republic of China (MGMR), a test survey of approximately 100 km length in order to (1) define the logistical requirements for deep reflection profiling in this unique area, and (2) address a key geologic problem relating to the evolution of the plateau. This initial test is an essential prelude to full scale profiling across the Himalaya/Tibet Plateau region.

该项目将执行一项多年期、 深地震采集国际合作项目 喜马拉雅/青藏高原碰撞带的反射数据， 大陆与大陆碰撞的典型例子。 的目标 该项目旨在描绘该建筑物的主要结构特征， 在碰撞过程中演化的青藏岩石圈， 并通过这一点大大有助于理解 大陆岩石圈整体演化。 在项目的初始阶段，校长 调查人员打算与该部合作， 中华人民共和国地质矿产局 （MGMR），约100公里长的测试调查，以 (1)定义深度反思的后勤需求 在这个独特的地区进行剖面分析，（2）解决关键的地质问题， 与高原演变有关的问题。 该初始 测试是全面分析整个 喜马拉雅/青藏高原地区。
