A Proposal to Support the 1992 RIDGE Theoretical Institute

海脊倡议为海脊过程的野外和实验室研究提供了理论上的综合支持。为了提供一个强大的自然焦点，以吸引来自更广泛的地质/生物社区内的高能力理论家，将举办第二届年度岭理论研究所。该研究所的目的是为在关键的理论脊线问题上取得进展提供一个环境，这些问题需要有两个具体的目标：为研究人员及其学生提供解决复杂的跨学科问题所需的背景知识，并促进在一个特定的山脊问题上的理论发展之间的紧密联系。该研究所将侧重于岩浆和热液系统的岩浆研究，包括一个短期的讲座、讨论和海报会议，随后将举办讲习班，为与会者之间的密集科学互动提供一个论坛。

The RIDGE Initiative provide support for theoretical integration of field and laboratory studies of ridge.crest processes. To provide a strong natural focus to attract highly capable thoreticians from within the broader geological /biolobical community, a second annual RIDGE Theoretical Insttitute will be conveined. The purpose of the Institute is to provide an environment for progress on critical theoretical RIDGE problems that require an interdisciplinary approach with two specific goals: to give researchers and their students the required background to address complex interdisciplinary problems, and to foster stron linkages among theoretical developments on a particular ridge.crest problem. This Institute will focus on magmatic on magmatic and hydrothermal systems, and will consist of a short course of lectures, discussions, and poster sessions, to be followed by a workshop that will provide a forum for intensive scientific interaction among participants.
