9408082 Webers This award supports a workshop of the geology of the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. The Ellsworth Mountains are part of a continental block that was part of East Antarctica prior to the breakup of Gondwana. This block occupies a key position in the tectonic micro-plates of West Antarctica and so it is especially important to understand its full geologic development. This region is particularly important to the overall objectives of the ANTALITH program (an integrated geophysical and geological traverse across West Antarctica to East Antarctica) which are to understanding the structure of the continental crust across the boundary between West Antarctica and East Antarctica. This workshop will allow scientists to review recently completed work in light of the new hypothesis that North America and Antarctica were part of a pre-Gondwana supercontinent and will allow discussion, debate, and definition, of future research objectives in the Ellsworth Mountains region. ***

9408082 Webers 该奖项支持南极洲埃尔斯沃斯山脉地质学研讨会。 埃尔斯沃斯山脉是一个大陆块的一部分，在冈瓦纳大陆分裂之前，该大陆块是东南极洲的一部分。 该区块在西南极洲的构造微板块中占据着关键位置，因此了解其完整的地质发育过程尤为重要。 该区域对于 ANTALITH 计划（横跨西南极洲到东南极洲的综合地球物理和地质横贯）的总体目标尤为重要，该计划旨在了解横跨西南极洲和东南极洲边界的大陆地壳结构。 该研讨会将使科学家们根据新的假设（即北美和南极洲是前冈瓦纳超大陆的一部分）回顾最近完成的工作，并将允许对埃尔斯沃斯山脉地区未来的研究目标进行讨论、辩论和定义。 ***
