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. ***

9221362 Cooper 该奖项支持美国南极研究计划的一个美国意大利联合项目的组成部分，该项目旨在研究罗斯海和邻近的横贯南极山脉岩石圈的声学特征。 该联合项目包括沿南纬 76 度左右的一条线部署记录地震仪，从东南极冰盖开始，穿过横贯南极山脉，再穿过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来收集地震反射和折射数据，用于推断该地区岩石圈的结构和成分。 ***
