9909619ReilingerDescription: This award is to support the collaboration of Dr. Robert Reilinger, Principal Research Scientist, Earth Resources Laboratory, Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and several scientists from the Middle East and the Caucasus regions. The primary collaborator is Dr. Aykut A. Barka, Professor of Geology at Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey. Other collaborators include Dr. Salah Mahmoud, Associate Professor at the National Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics, Helwan, Egypt, Professor Mikhail Prilepin, United Institute of Physics of the Earth, Moscow, Russia, and Dr. Merab Nadariya, Department of Geodesy and Cartography of Georgia, Tibilisi, Georgia. The research is to expand on results obtained by the PI and his MIT team using Global Positioning System (GPS) to quantify plate motions and inter/intra-plate deformation in the zone of the interaction of the Arabian, African, and Eurasian plates. The project has provided new constraints on the kinematics of this complex region, which in turn are providing new information on dynamic processes and the rheology of the oceanic and continental lithosphere. The new work is to further the delineation of the forces driving plate motions and intraplate deformation, and the rheological character of the continental and oceanic lithosphere responding to these forces.Scope: This project will support important research for which the primary support is provided by NSF's Division of Earth Sciences. This award will support the travel and living expenses of the US and the foreign scientists identified above who are involved in this project. The participation of these foreign scientists in field research and in meetings at MIT is expected to lead to improvement in the fieldwork and in the interpretation of the results obtained and in the conclusions to be reached. The multinational and regional nature of the research team is significant because of the synergetic effect. The project fits well with the objective of the Division of International Programs for encouraging mutually beneficial collaboration on research of important scientific problems.

9909619 ReilingerDescription：该奖项旨在支持马萨诸塞州剑桥，马萨诸塞州剑桥，马萨诸塞州，马萨诸塞州技术研究所的地球，大气和行星科学领域资源实验室的首席研究科学家Robert Reilinger博士，以及中东和多米加斯群岛的几位科学家。 主要合作者是土耳其伊斯坦布尔伊斯坦布尔技术大学地质学教授Aykut A. Barka博士。 其他合作者包括美国国家天文学与地球物理学院副教授Salah Mahmoud，Helwan，Egypt，埃及，Mikhail Prilepin教授，地球联合物理研究所，莫斯科，俄罗斯，俄罗斯，Merab Nadariya博士 这项研究是为了扩展PI及其MIT团队使用全球定位系统（GPS）获得的结果，以量化板块运动和阿拉伯，非洲和欧亚板块相互作用区域中的板块运动和板间变形。 该项目对这个复杂区域的运动学提供了新的限制，而该区域又提供了有关动态过程以及海洋和大陆岩石圈流变学的新信息。 新工作是为了进一步描述驱动板运动的力和板内变形，以及对这些力的响应的大陆和海洋岩石圈的流变特征。 该奖项将支持美国和上述参与该项目的外国科学家的旅行和生活费用。 这些外国科学家参与现场研究和麻省理工学院的会议，预计将改善现场工作和解释所获得的结果以及得出的结论。 由于具有协同作用，研究团队的跨国和区域性质非常重要。 该项目非常符合国际计划的划分，以鼓励对重要科学问题研究的互惠互利合作。
