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

0000406 Zeitler该美洲项目奖将支持Peter Zeitler博士、大卫J. Anastasio博士、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Minard Hall博士和其他来自国家地理研究所的同事，该研究所与基多国家理工学院有联系。 此次访问的目的是与研究所的科学家进行联合研究规划，调查现场后勤，并检查关键现场，目的是开发两个联合研究项目，以及为活跃构造和地质灾害高级学生提供联合培训计划。 这些项目包括研究北方安第斯山脉火山爆发和侵蚀之间的地球动力学质量平衡;研究安第斯山脉间山谷的新构造变形和灾难性沉积;以及一个为高年级学生提供这些领域研究经验的方案。

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.***
