9810811CemenDescription: This award supports a collaborative research project between Professor Ibrahim Cemen of the School of Geology at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma and a Turkish team headed by Dr. Gurol Seyitoglu, Associate Professor of Geological Engineering at Ankara University in Turkey. These scientists plan to conduct research to compare the continental extensional features of West Anatolia to the extensional features in the southern US Basin Ranges, especially the Death Valley region, in terms of geometry and evolution of extensional structures and geochemistry of the extension related igneous and metamorphic rocks. The research will include a field geological study in West Anatolia, to be followed by geochemical analysis and radiometric age determinations on the extension related igneous and metamorphic rocks. The three models on the origin of extensional tectonics: the tectonic escape model, back-arc extension model, and orogenic collapse model, will be tested based on the data collected during this research. Scope: This project will support collaboration between two scientific teams with complementary expertise and institutional facilities. The US team includes Dr. Cemen, who is a field geologist with expertise in the geology of the western United States, and a graduate student from Oklahoma State University, who will participate in the field research. The Turkish team includes two scientists with special knowledge of the geological sites in the Western Anatolia, as well as a graduate student. The Turkish graduate student will carry out geochemical analysis under the supervision of Dr. Inci Erten at Rice University, and will carry out radiometric age determinations under the supervision of Dr. Kip Hodges at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The project fits well within the objectives of the Division of International Programs.

9810811 Cemen描述：该奖项支持俄克拉荷马州斯蒂尔沃特的俄克拉荷马州立大学地质学院的Ibrahim Cemen教授与土耳其安卡拉大学地质工程副教授Gurol Seyitoglu博士领导的土耳其团队之间的合作研究项目。 这些科学家计划开展研究，比较西安纳托利亚的大陆伸展特征与美国南部盆地山脉，特别是死亡谷地区的伸展特征，包括伸展构造的几何形状和演化以及与伸展有关的火成岩和变质岩的地球化学。 这项研究将包括在西安纳托利亚进行实地地质研究，然后对与伸展有关的火成岩和变质岩进行地球化学分析和放射性年龄测定。 本文将根据所收集的资料，对伸展构造成因的三种模型：构造逃逸模型、弧后伸展模型和造山塌陷模型进行检验。范围：本项目将支持两个具有互补专门知识和机构设施的科学小组之间的合作。 美国团队包括Cemen博士，他是一位具有美国西部地质专业知识的野外地质学家，以及来自俄克拉荷马州州立大学的研究生，他们将参与实地研究。 土耳其团队包括两名对安纳托利亚西部地质遗址有特殊了解的科学家，以及一名研究生。 土耳其研究生将在莱斯大学Inci Erten博士的指导下进行地球化学分析，并将在马萨诸塞州理工学院Kip Hodges博士的指导下进行放射性年龄测定。 该项目完全符合国际方案司的目标。
