U.S.-Argentina Planning Visit: Graptolite Paleographic History of the Precordilleran Terrane, Argentina

9602985米切尔此次美国-阿根廷计划访问将允许布法罗州立大学的查尔斯·米切尔博士前往阿根廷科尔多瓦，与科尔多瓦国立大学的埃德塞尔·布鲁萨博士一起工作。他们的研究集中在阿根廷西部Precordillera的中奥陶世笔石的生物地理历史上。他们将测试两种不同的板块构造历史模型，以帮助确定这些山脉从北美到南美移动的日期。这个项目将把两位以前从未合作过的研究人员聚集在一起。Mitchell带来了他在北美中上奥陶统笔石的系统学、生物地理学和生物地层学方面的经验，Brussa博士带来了他在阿根廷Precordillera笔石和地层学方面的经验。他们的新合作将进一步加深我们在地球科学这一重要领域的知识。＊＊＊

9602985 Mitchell This U.S.-Argentina Planning Visit will permit Dr. Charles E. Mitchell of SUNY, Buffalo to go to Cordoba, Argentina to work with Dr. Edsel D. Brussa at the Universidad National de Cordoba. Their research centers on the biogeographic history of the Middle Ordovician graptolites of the Western Argentine Precordillera. They will test two different models of plate tectonic history to help pin down the date of the movement of these mountain ranges as they passed from North America to South America. This project will bring together two researchers who have never collaborated before. Mitchell brings his experience on the systematics, biogeography, and biostratigraphy of Middle and Upper Ordovician graptolites in North America and Dr. Brussa his experience with graptolites and stratigraphy of the Argentine Precordillera. Their new collaboration will further our knowledge in an important area of geoscience. ***
