9530886 Williams Recent political changes in the Republic of Mongolia make it possible for the first time in modern history to begin the establishment of long-term cooperative programs to study a wide variety of important scientific problems in this important region of Asia. In order to begin this process, NSF requested the P.I.s to organize a Planning Workshop for American scientists to explore and develop opportunities for cooperative research with Mongolian scientists. The purpose of the workshop is to provide the broader U.S. scientific community, including governmental and non- governmental agencies, with a coordinated science plan for future large and small scale scientific investigations in the Republic of Mongolia. Several important questions to be addressed by the workshop include: o the level of biological endemism in lakes of the Hovsgol and Darhad Grabens of northern Mongolia and the relationships between the biota of the Selenga River in northern Mongolia which connects Hovsgol Nuur with Lake Baikal; o the tectonic and structural relationship of these lake systems and surrounding tectonic terrains to the Himalayan orogeny, the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and the reactivation of the Baikal Rift Zone including the evolution of Lake Baikal and the climatic regime of Asia; o the surface ruptures and deformation associated with great earthquakes in Mongolia to understand the process of intracontinental mountain building. ***

威廉姆斯9530886 蒙古共和国最近的政治变化使得在现代历史上第一次有可能开始建立长期合作方案，以研究亚洲这一重要地区的各种重要科学问题。 为了开始这一进程，NSF要求P.I.s为美国科学家组织一次规划研讨会，以探索和发展与蒙古科学家合作研究的机会。 研讨会的目的是为包括政府和非政府机构在内的更广泛的美国科学界提供一个协调的科学计划，以便今后在蒙古共和国进行大规模和小规模的科学调查。 讲习班将讨论的几个重要问题包括： O 生物特有性的水平在湖泊的Hovsgol 和蒙古北方的达尔哈德格拉本 塞伦加河生物群之间的关系 蒙古北方，连接呼日湖和呼日湖 贝加尔湖; O 这些湖泊构造和构造关系 系统和周围的构造地形 喜马拉雅山脉、青藏高原的隆升和 贝加尔裂谷带的重新活跃， 贝加尔湖的演变和亚洲的气候状况; O 表面破裂和变形 蒙古的大地震来了解 大陆内部造山运动的证据 ***
