U.S.-Italy Planning Visit: Cooperative Research on Apennine Tectonics

0109922考恩这个为期12个月的奖项将为华盛顿大学的达雷尔科万和七名共同主要研究人员提供支持，以计划与罗马第三大学的弗朗切斯科·德拉米斯博士合作研究亚平宁构造。该项目的目的是回顾美国和意大利在北方亚平宁山脉的当前和过去的研究，制定具体的合作项目，并从罗马到博洛尼亚亚平宁山脉进行实地考察，让所有的合作PI有机会一起查看他们研究区域的地形，岩石和结构。 在意大利研究人员的合作下，随后的联合项目“退缩-海沟、延伸和增生构造（RETREAT）：对北方亚平宁山脉的多学科研究”有可能成为一个世界级的研究领域，对其他构造系统具有重要的更广泛的影响。

0109922CowanThis twelve-month award will provide support for Darrel Cowan of the University of Washington and seven co-principal investigators to plan a cooperative research project with Dr. Francesco Dramis at the University of Rome III on Apennine tectonics. The objective of the project is to review the US and Italian current and past research in the northern Apennines, formulate specific collaborative projects, and make a field excursion from Rome to the Bologna Apennines, to give all the co-PIs the opportunity to view together the terrain, rocks, and structures of their study area. With the cooperation of the Italian researchers, the subsequent joint project, "Retreating-trench, extension, and accretion tectonics (RETREAT): a multidisciplinary study of the northern Apennines," has the potential to be a world-class study area with important broader implications for other tectonic systems.
