Ellsworth Mountains Workshop, Macalester College, March 25-27, 1994

9408082韦伯斯该奖项支持南极埃尔斯沃斯山脉地质学研讨会。埃尔斯沃斯山脉是大陆块的一部分，在冈瓦那分裂之前，大陆块是东南极洲的一部分。该地块在西南极构造微板块中占有重要地位，了解其完整的地质发育尤为重要。该地区对于ANTALITH计划(从南极洲西部到东极洲的综合地球物理和地质穿越)的总体目标尤其重要，该计划旨在了解横跨南极洲西部和东南极边界的大陆地壳结构。这次研讨会将允许科学家根据新的假设回顾最近完成的工作，这一假设认为北美和南极洲是前冈瓦那超大陆的一部分，并将允许讨论、辩论和定义埃尔斯沃斯山脉地区未来的研究目标。***

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. ***
