9712079 Pirmez This grant will support participation in a research cruise to the Magdelena and Orinoco fans on the Spanish ship Hesperides. The PI will synthesize morphologic data on the channel systems to determine the effect of tectonics and turbidity currents upon the Magdelena Fan. A secondary goal is to determine whether channels on the Orinoco Fan are braided and if so what process might control this.

小行星9712079 这笔赠款将支持参加西班牙Hesperides号上的Magdelena和Orinoco粉丝的研究巡航。PI将综合河道系统的形态数据，以确定构造和浊流对Magdelena扇的影响。第二个目标是确定奥里诺科河扇上的通道是否是编织的，如果是的话，什么过程可能控制这一点。
