U.S.-Taiwan Joint Workshop: The Taiwan Arc-Continent Collision in Chungil, Taiwan on Nov. 4-9, 1997

这是一个为期12个月的奖项，由dr。康涅狄格大学的Timothy Byrne和Jean Crespi以及台湾大学的Louis S. Y. Teng教授。伯恩博士要求为11名美国科学家和2名研究生提供资金，使他们参加1997年11月4日至9日在台湾忠吉举行的关于台湾大陆碰撞的双边会议。这次研讨会的目的是为了更好地了解隆起和发掘的前第三纪变质基底与明显下降和沉积物填充的纵向谷之间的边界。台湾弧区是研究地壳变形的独特场所。这次研讨会是一个及时的机会，让美国和台湾的科学家在进行一项新的研究之前，比较数据和过去的研究结果，这项研究将由伯恩博士在台湾的ARC大陆碰撞地点进行构造挖掘。该项目还涉及一个重要的重点领域：一个位于重要地球物理区域的独特地点，几乎没有数据。​

9724732 Byrne This is a 12-month award proposed by Drs. Timothy Byrne and Jean Crespi, the University of Connecticut and Professor Louis S. Y. Teng, National Taiwan University. Dr. Byrne requests funds for 11 U.S. scientists and two graduate students to travel to attend the bilateral meeting on the Taiwan ARC-Continent Collision in Chungil, Taiwan between November 4 and 9, 1997. The purpose of this workshop is to better understand the boundary between the uplifted and exhumed pre-Tertiary metamorphic basement and the apparently down-dropped and sediment-filled Longitudinal Valley. The Taiwan ARC-area is a unique site for studying crust deformation. This workshop is a timely opportunity for U.S. and Taiwan scientists to compare data and past research results prior to a new study, which will be carried out by Dr. Byrne on the tectonic exhumation in an ARC continent collision site in Taiwan. This project also addresses an important focus area: a unique site in an important geophysical area with little or no data. This project is jointly supported by the Taiwan National Science Council and the NSF.
