US-Bhutan Planning Visit: Seismotectonics and Structure of the Bhutanese Himalaya

0118594米勒该奖项支持规划访问的PI凯特米勒，得克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校和林肯霍利斯特，普林斯顿大学前往不丹王国。 他们的研究目标要求他们首先访问该国，在那里他们将与不丹地球科学家合作，在不丹部署地震网络。 他们还将培训不丹地质调查局（BGS）的科学家掌握现代地震监测技术。 一旦完成这项工作，他们将编写一份完整的提案，提交给地球科学研究理事会。这项活动将在喜马拉雅山一个独特的、以前无法进入的地区开展地震研究，并将加强目前对喜马拉雅地区的地震研究。 不丹科学家在地震危险评估方面的合作和培训将是在一个有重大地震危险的地区建立国家地震监测网的第一步。

0118594Miller This award supports a planning visit for PIs Kate Miller, University of Texas at El Pasoand Lincoln Hollister, Princeton University to travel to the Kingdom of Bhutan. Their research goals require that they first visit the country where they will work with Bhutanese geoscientists to deploy a seismic network in Bhutan. They will also train scientists at the Bhutanese Geological Survey (BGS) in modern seismic monitoring techniques. Once they have finalized this work, they will prepare a full proposal for submission to the Geosciences research directorate. This activity will initiate seismic studies in a unique and previously inaccessible region of the Himalayas and will enhance current seismic research on the Himalayan region. Collaboration and training of Bhutanese scientists in seismic hazard assessment will constitute the first steps toward establishing a national seismic monitoring network in a region with significant seismic hazard.
