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

提供资金举办一个大陆边缘理论和实验学校，讨论“大陆边缘岩石圈的流变学和变形”问题。实验学家和理论家之间的沟通是必不可少的设计实验，以解决宏观领域的观察，另一方面，小规模的实验室发现提出了更广泛的影响。该研讨会将促进岩石圈流变学和变形的跨学科研究。该研讨会将包括一个为期4天的短期课程，然后是两天的讨论，在此期间，将充实这一学科的科学计划。这些资金将支付50名与会者参加讲习班的全部或部分旅费，但预计与会者总数将多达95名来自地质学和地球物理学各个分领域的科学家。

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.
