U.S.-South Africa Cooperative Workshop: Anatomy of an Archean Craton; Interdisciplinary Studies of the Origin and Evolution of Ancient Lithosphere of Southern Africa

这个国际讲习班将于1995年4月24日至29日在南非的开普敦大学举行。 来自华盛顿卡内基研究所和马萨诸塞理工学院的研究人员将与来自开普敦大学、威特沃特斯兰德大学和彼得马里茨堡的纳塔尔大学的南非同事会面，传播和分享关于构成南部非洲卡普瓦普勒火山的大陆地壳和相关上地幔的发展和聚集历史的研究数据和想法。 南非是研究大陆如何起源和随时间演变的理想地点，该工作室将使美国科学家了解南非独特的研究地点。该研讨会将促使对南部非洲古代岩石圈的起源和演化感兴趣的美国和南非地质学家、地球化学家和地球物理学家提交合作资助提案。

This international workshop will be held at the University of Cape Town in South Africa from April 24-29, 1995. Researchers from the Carnegie Institute of Washington and the Massachussetts Institute of Technology will meet with their South African colleagues from the University of Cape Town, the University of Witwatersrand and the University of Natal in Pietermaritzburg to disseminate and share research data and ideas on the history of the development and assembly of the continental crust and associated upper mantle that make up the Kaapvaapl Craton of Southern Africa. South Africa is the ideal location to study how continents originate and evolve over time, and the worshop will expose US scientists to the unique research sites in South Africa. The workshop will lead to the submission of collaborative grant proposals among US and South African geologists, geochemists and geophysicists who are interested in the origin and evolution of the ancient lithosphere of Southern Africa.
