MARGINS Theoretical and Experimental Institute: Rheology and Deformation of the Lithosphere at Continental Margins

提供资金举办边缘理论和实验学校，“大陆边缘岩石圈的流变学和变形”将是讨论的主题。实验学家和理论家之间的交流对于设计实验是必不可少的，以解决一方面由宏观现场观察引起的更广泛的影响，另一方面是小规模的实验室发现。研讨会将促进对岩石圈流变学和变形的跨学科研究。研讨会将包括为期4天的短期课程，随后是为期两天的讨论，在此期间将充实该学科的科学计划。这些资金将支付50名与会者的全部或部分旅费，但与会者的总人数预计将达到95名，他们来自地质学和地球物理学的各个分支领域。

Funds are provided to hold a MARGINS' Theoretical and Experimental school where "Rheology and Deformation of the Lithosphere at Continental Margins" will be the topic of deliberations. Communication between experimentalists and theoreticians is essential to design experiments to address the broader implications raised by macroscopic field observations on the one hand, and small-scale laboratory findings on the other. The workshop will foster cross-disciplinary inquiry into rheology and deformation of the lithosphere. The workshop will consist of a 4-day short course followed by two days of discussions during which a science plan will be fleshed out for this discipline. The funds will pay for full or partial travel of 50 participants to the workshop, but the total number of attendees are expected to be as much as 95 scientists from various subfields of geology and geophysics.
