Description: This project supports the participation of Dr. Roger Bilham of the University of Colorado and Dr. V.E. Nagar of the Geodetic and Research Branch of the Survey of India in field research in India. The objective is to use GPS geodesy to determine the vertical and horizantal positions of survey markers spaced at crucial locations across the active Himalayan deformation that marks the collision zone between the Indo/Australian Plate and the Euro/Asian Plate. This is part of a larger project in which Dr. Bilham is also conducting similar studies in Nepal and Pakistan to cover various segments of the Himalayan deformation. Scope: This project allows for valuable cooperation between the Indian team and the U.S. team. Dr. Nagar is more familiar with the Indian conditions and is better prepared for long term data acquisition in that country, while Dr. Bilham can provide coordination with the neighboring countries as well as supply sophisticated instruments and broader expertise in measuring techniques. The project fits well within the U.S.-India Cooperative Science Program criteria.

项目说明：本项目支持科罗拉多大学Roger Bilham博士和印度调查局大地测量与研究处V.E. Nagar博士在印度进行实地研究。目标是使用GPS大地测量学来确定分布在喜马拉雅活跃变形区关键位置的测量标记的垂直和水平位置，这些位置标志着印度/澳大利亚板块和欧洲/亚洲板块之间的碰撞区。这是一个更大项目的一部分，比尔汉姆博士还在尼泊尔和巴基斯坦进行类似的研究，以覆盖喜马拉雅变形的各个部分。范围：该项目允许印度团队和美国团队之间进行有价值的合作。Nagar博士更熟悉印度的情况，并为该国的长期数据采集做好了更好的准备，而Bilham博士可以提供与邻国的协调，并提供先进的仪器和更广泛的测量技术专业知识。该项目完全符合美印合作科学项目的标准。
