U.S.-Ecuador Planning Visit: Geodynamics, Active Tectonics, and Geological Hazards in the Northern Andes, Ecuador

0000406 zeitler这个美洲项目奖将支持计划访问厄瓜多尔的博士。Peter Zeitler, David J. Anastasio, Anne S. Meltzer和Frank J. Pazzaglia都来自宾夕法尼亚州伯利恒的利哈伊大学。会见了与基多国立理工大学有关的国家地理研究所的Minard Hall博士和其他同事。这次访问的目的是与研究所的科学家进行联合研究规划，实地考察后勤情况，考察重点实地地点，目的是制定两个联合研究项目，以及为活动构造和地质灾害高级学生制定联合培训计划。这些项目包括研究北安第斯山脉火山爆发和侵蚀之间的地球动力物质平衡；Interandean Valley新构造变形与灾变沉积研究；以及一个为高级学生提供这些领域研究经验的项目

0000406ZeitlerThis Americas Program award will support a planning visit to Ecuador by Drs. Peter Zeitler, David J. Anastasio, Anne S. Meltzer, and Frank J. Pazzaglia, all from Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa., to meet with Dr. Minard Hall and other colleagues from the Instituto Geofisico Nacional, associated with the Escuela Politecnica Nacional of Quito. The purpose of the visit is to carry out join research planning with scientists of the Instituto, to investigate field logistics, and examining key field sites, with the goal of developing two joint research projects, as well as a joint training program for advanced students of active tectonics and geologic hazards. The projects include a study of the geodynamic mass balance in the northern Andes between volcanic eruptions and erosion; study of neotectonic deformation and catastrophic sedimentation in the Interandean Valley; and a program that will involve research experience in these areas for advanced students.***
