9722507 Ingle This U.S.-Mexico award will support a research collaboration between Prof. James Ingle of Stanford University and Prof. Rodolfo Cruz-Orozco of the Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas in La Paz, Mexico. The researchers aim to study unusual and geologically important subtropical shallow water carbonate environments in the La Paz area of Baja California Sur, Mexico. Results of this research will have immediate application to the interpretation of the modern, Quaternary, and Cenozoic oceanographic and paleoclimatic history of this climatically sensitive region; understanding the formation and preservation of carbonate sediments in tectonically active settings; and monitoring and protection of fragile marine environments in a proposed ecological reserve. This project will help to further international scientific collaboration between Mexican and U.S. scientists and graduate students and will substantially broaden our understanding of the little studied but environmentally unique and geologically important shallow carbonate environments of the southern Gulf of California. ***

9722507这个美墨合作奖将支持斯坦福大学的James Inole教授和墨西哥拉巴斯跨学科码头中心的Rodolfo Cruz-Orozco教授之间的研究合作。研究人员的目标是研究墨西哥南巴哈加利福尼亚州拉巴斯地区不同寻常的、具有重要地质意义的亚热带浅水碳酸盐环境。这项研究的结果将立即应用于解释这一气候敏感地区的现代、第四纪和新生代海洋和古气候历史；了解构造活动背景下碳酸盐沉积物的形成和保存；以及监测和保护拟议生态保护区中脆弱的海洋环境。该项目将有助于促进墨西哥和美国科学家和研究生之间的国际科学合作，并将大大拓宽我们对加利福尼亚州南部海湾浅水碳酸盐环境的了解，这些环境研究很少，但环境独特，具有重要的地质意义。***
