9910570SintonThis award supports twelve participants to attend a workshop and field demonstration in Iceland in August 1999. The international workshop and demonstration of the Icelandic rift zones will provide marine scientists with first-hand knowledge of the physical terrain and geological processes that affect all rift systems. Iceland is a subaerial section of the mid-ocean ridge system, and has many features and processes that are similar to those on the submarine mid-ocean ridge system. Compared to the costs of putting a scientist on the bottom of the ocean in a submersible, field experience in Iceland is inexpensive. The demonstration will be organized jointly by scientists from the University of Hawaii and the Nordic Volcanological Institute in Reykjavik. The demonstration will encourage interaction between US and Icelandic scientists.

9910570Sinton 该奖项支持 12 名参与者参加 1999 年 8 月在冰岛举行的研讨会和现场演示。冰岛裂谷区的国际研讨会和演示将为海洋科学家提供影响所有裂谷系统的物理地形和地质过程的第一手知识。 冰岛是洋中脊系统的水下部分，具有许多与海底洋中脊系统相似的特征和过程。 与让科学家乘坐潜水器到海底的成本相比，冰岛的实地经验并不昂贵。 此次演示将由夏威夷大学和雷克雅未克北欧火山研究所的科学家联合组织。 此次演示将鼓励美国和冰岛科学家之间的互动。
