NSF Margins Office Support

边缘项目旨在了解控制全球大陆边缘演化过程的复杂相互作用，特别是针对涉及实地实验、数值模拟和实验室分析的多学科研究项目。为继续维持边际协调办公室提供支助，该办公室将从夏威夷大学转移到拉蒙特·多尔蒂地球观测站。协调办公室将帮助将调查人员的工作重点放在边际项目科学计划中确定的具体举措和地理区域上，帮助将项目活动和结果的信息传播给一个庞大而多样化的社区，并协调边际活动与其他适当的国家和国际活动。

The MARGINS program seeks to understand the complex interplay of processes that govern continental margin evolution globally, particularly targeting multidisciplinary research programs involving field experiments, numerical simulations, and laboratory analyses. Support is provided to continue the MARGINS coordinating office, which will be transferred from the University of Hawaii to the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. The coordinating office will help focus and implement efforts of investigators on specific initiatives and geographic areas identified in the MARGINS Program Science Plan, help disseminate information on program activities and results to a large and diverse community, and coordinate MARGINS activities with other appropriate national and international activities.
