U.S.-Mexico Planning Visit to Participate in Project SAMPLE Jalisco: Jalisco, Mexico

96------ VanDecar这次美国-墨西哥计划访问将为博士提供旅行支持。华盛顿卡内基研究所的John C. VanDecar和Sean C. Solomon，以便他们可以参加project SAMPLE Jalisco（微板块演化的地震分析，哈利斯科，墨西哥）。该项目将提供有关哈利斯科地区以及其他板块边界演变的基本科学问题的理解。哈利斯科地区在这个特殊的时刻将作为一个自然实验室，研究在北美西海岸从俯冲到转换运动的转变过程中形成的力量。墨西哥方面的合作者是墨西哥国立自治大学的Gerardo Suarez博士，他得到了NSF对应机构CONACYT的支持。双方将在现场放置地震仪，定期返回为网络服务，最后分析数据。＊＊＊

96------ VanDecar This U.S.-Mexico Planning Visit will provide travel support to Drs. John C. VanDecar and Sean C. Solomon of Carnegie Institution of Washington so that they may participate in project SAMPLE Jalisco (Seismic Analysis of Micro-Plate Evolution, Jalisco, Mexico). This project will provide understanding of fundamental scientific questions which concern the evolution of the Jalisco area, as well as other plate boundaries. The Jalisco area at this particular time will act as a natural laboratory to study the forces that have shaped the west coast of North America in its transition from subduction to transform motion. The collaborator on the Mexican side, Dr. Gerardo Suarez at Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, is being supported by NSF's counterpart agency, CONACYT. Both sides will place seismometers in the field, return periodically to service the network, and finally, analyze the data. ***
