Cenozoic Tectonism of the Ross Sea, Antarctica

9221362库珀该奖项支持美国南极研究计划的组成部分，该计划是美国-意大利联合项目的组成部分，该项目旨在调查罗斯海和邻近的横贯北极山脉的岩石圈的声学特征。该联合项目涉及沿大约76 S处的一条线部署记录地震仪，这些地震仪从南极东部冰盖、横跨北极山脉和罗斯海的维多利亚盆地部分。将部署陆基地震仪和海底地震仪，以收集地震反射和折射数据，用于推断该区域岩石圈的结构和组成。***

9221362 Cooper This award supports the United States Antarctic Research Program component of a joint U.S. Italian project to investigate the acoustic characteristics of the lithosphere of the Ross Sea and the adjacent Transantarctic Mountains. The joint project involves deployment of recording seismometers along a line at approximately 76 S, from the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, across the Transantarctic Mountains, and across the Victoria Basin portion of the Ross Sea. Land based seismometers and ocean bottom seismometers will be deployed to gather seismic reflection and refraction data that will be used to infer the structure and composition of the lithosphere in the region. ***
