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

小行星9724732 这是一个为期12个月的奖项，由康涅狄格大学的蒂莫西·伯恩博士和让·克雷斯皮博士以及路易斯·S·佩雷拉教授提议。Y.滕，国立台湾大学。 伯恩博士要求为11名美国科学家和两名研究生提供资金，以参加1997年11月4日至9日在台湾中吉举行的关于台湾弧-大陆碰撞的双边会议。 本次研讨会的目的是更好地了解隆起和折返的前第三纪变质基底和明显下降和沉积物填充的纵向山谷之间的边界。 台湾弧区是研究地壳形变的独特场所。 这次研讨会是美国和台湾科学家在一项新研究之前比较数据和过去研究结果的一个及时机会，这项新研究将由Byrne博士在台湾ARC大陆碰撞地点进行。该项目还涉及一个重要的重点领域：在一个重要的地球物理区域的一个独特的网站，很少或没有数据。 本计画由台湾国科会理事会与国家科学基金会共同赞助。

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.
