A Field Trip/Workshop on Intracontinental Mountain Building in the Tien Shan of Central Asia

小行星9316103 该项目涉及吉尔吉斯斯坦和哈萨克斯坦天山地区陆内变形的多学科研究，目的是检验脆性上地壳变形与地幔动力学之间的联系或耦合程度。 为此，主要研究人员计划收集关于地壳上部运动学和深部结构的数据。 将限制瞬时（地震和GPS测量）和新生代变形与下地壳和上地幔结构（地震和大地电磁测量）进行比较。 主要研究人员决定采用分阶段的研究方法，以回答有关实地条件和数据可用性的一些初步问题，这些问题可能对整个实验的设计产生影响。 第一阶段将包括在1994年夏天进行一次实地考察/讲习班。 在这次讲习班/实地考察期间收集的信息本身就很有价值，对设计该地区今后的研究也很有价值。 ***

9316103 Molnar This project involves a multi-disciplinary study of intracontinental deformation in the Tien Shan mountains in Kyrgystan and Khazakhstan which is aimed at testing the connection or degree of coupling between the brittle upper crustal deformation and mantle dynamics. To this end the principal investigators plan to collect data on both the kinematics of the upper crust and the deep structure. Both instantaneous (earthquake and GPS measurements) and Cenozoic deformation will be constrained to compare with lower crust and upper mantle structure (from seismic and magnetotelluric measurements). The principal investigators have decided to adopt a phased approach to the study in order to answer some preliminary questions about field conditions and data availability which might have a bearing on the design of the full experiment. The first phase will consist of a combined field trip/workshop in the summer of 1994. Information gathered during this workshop/field trip will be valuable in its own right and will be invaluable in the design of future studies of this region. ***
