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Peter Zeitler博士、David J.Anastasio博士、Anne S.Meltzer博士和Frank J.Pazzaglia博士计划访问厄瓜多尔，他们都来自宾夕法尼亚州伯利恒的利哈伊大学，与基多国家地质研究所的Minard Hall博士和其他同事会面。访问的目的是与研究所的科学家开展联合研究计划，调查野外后勤，考察关键野外场地，目的是开发两个联合研究项目，以及为活动构造和地质灾害高级学生提供联合培训计划。这些项目包括研究安第斯山脉北部火山喷发和侵蚀之间的地球动力学物质平衡；研究安第斯山脉间山谷的新构造变形和灾难性沉积；以及将为高级学生提供这些领域的研究经验的项目。

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.***
