0117405UddinDescription: This project is to support a cooperative research project by Dr. Ashraf Uddin, Department of Geology, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama and Dr. M. Mustafa Alam, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh. These scientists plan to conduct field research and to collect representative sediment samples in order to investigate Eocene through Quaternary sequences of the Bengal basin for mineralogical and geochronological evidence for basin-wide correlation and of the tectonic history of the adjacent mountain belts. They will identify techniques with the best potential for constraining basin-wide correlation. The techniques will include fission-track analysis of materials, magentostratigraphic study on several sections, and heavy-mineral studies. The resulting stratigraphic framework will be used to evaluate the Bengal basin history, with implications for both petroleum potential and a valuable record of the ongoing continental collision.Scope: Dr. Ashraf Uddin is a recent Ph.D. graduate who has made significant research on the sedimentology of the Himalayan-Bengal basin evolutionary history. In this project he will be collaborating with several senior scholars with extensive experience in some of the techniques to be used. One is Neil Opdyke, who will be working on the magnetostratigraphy, and who has also used this worked on the western Himalayas study. Another is John Garver, who will supervise the fission-track analysis, has extensive, recent experience in the rather complicated area of fission-track analysis that relates detrital grain ages to source terranes. One US graduate student from the University of Alabama and at least one from the University of Dhaka will also participate in this research and will gain experience in international scientific collaboration. The Department of Geology at the U. of Dhaka will provide facilities and support for the project. The project will benefit from the complementary expertise and facilities available to the two sides. This project meets INT criteria for supporting meritorious collaborative research of mutual benefit to the US and the foreign country. This project is funded by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Earth Sciences.

0117405 Uddin描述：本项目是为了支持亚拉巴马奥本奥本大学地质系Ashraf Uddin博士和M. Mustafa Alam，孟加拉国达卡，达卡大学地质系。 这些科学家计划进行实地研究并收集有代表性的沉积物样品，以便调查孟加拉盆地始新世至第四纪的层序，为整个盆地的对比和邻近山区的构造历史提供矿物学和地质年代学证据。 他们将确定最有可能约束全流域相关性的技术。 这些技术将包括材料的裂变径迹分析、几个剖面的岩浆地层学研究和重矿物研究。 由此产生的地层框架将用于评估孟加拉盆地的历史，对石油潜力和正在进行的大陆碰撞的宝贵记录都有影响。范围：Ashraf Uddin博士是最近的博士。在喜马拉雅-孟加拉盆地演化史的沉积学方面做出了重要研究的毕业生。 在这个项目中，他将与几位资深学者合作，他们在一些将要使用的技术方面拥有丰富的经验。 一个是尼尔·奥普代克，他将从事磁性地层学的研究，他也用这个方法研究了喜马拉雅山脉西部。 另一位是约翰·加弗，他将监督裂变径迹分析，他在相当复杂的裂变径迹分析领域有着广泛的近期经验，该领域将碎屑颗粒年龄与源岩联系起来。 一名来自亚拉巴马大学的美国研究生和至少一名来自达卡大学的研究生也将参与这项研究，并将获得国际科学合作的经验。 美国地质科学院地质系。达卡市政府将为该项目提供设施和支持。 双方的专业知识和设施互补，将使该项目受益。 该项目符合INT标准，支持对美国和外国互利的有价值的合作研究。 该项目由国际方案司和地球科学司资助。
