This award, provided by the Antarctic Geology and Geophysics Program of the Office of Polar Programs of the National Science Foundation, provides support for a workshop to develop a structural and stratigraphic framework for the McMurdo Sound region of the western Ross Sea. Extensive new information has accumulated in recent years on the structure, stratigraphy, landscape evolution, glacial history, and volcanic chronology of the Transantarctic Mountains and Victoria Land Basin in the southern McMurdo Sound region. New seismic, magnetic and gravity data have also been acquired in the area. Participants in the workshop will assess and synthesize both old and new data sets in the context of modern knowledge of the rift basin architecture. The principle objective of the workshop is to produce an updated, regional structural and stratigraphic framework for the coupled rift/rift-flank system in the southern McMurdo Sound region, incorporating volcanic and glacial processes as key drivers of this unique geodynamic system.Broader ImpactThe workshop will be international in scope, with participants from Germany, Italy, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. The workshop activities will improve and enhance international collaboration on Antarctic sciences questions and will help to develop a well-integrated science community with international partnerships for future interdisciplinary research. Workshop results will be reported at international science symposia, future planning workshops focused on Antarctic research frontiers, and via established community World Wide Web sites, to ensure broad dissemination

该奖项由国家科学基金会极地项目办公室南极地质和地球物理项目提供，为罗斯海西部麦克默多海峡地区的结构和地层框架开发讲习班提供支持。 近年来，在麦克默多海峡南部地区的跨南极山脉和维多利亚陆地盆地的结构、地层、景观演化、冰川历史和火山年代学方面积累了大量新的信息。 在该地区还获得了新的地震、磁力和重力数据。 讲习班的参加者将根据裂谷盆地结构的现代知识评估和综合新旧数据集。 讲习班的主要目标是为麦克默多海峡南部地区的耦合裂谷/裂谷-侧翼系统制作一个最新的区域结构和地层框架，将火山和冰川过程作为这一独特的地球动力系统的主要驱动力。 讲习班的活动将改善和加强在南极科学问题上的国际合作，并将有助于发展一个具有国际伙伴关系的科学界，以促进未来的跨学科研究。 讲习班的成果将在国际科学专题讨论会、以南极研究前沿为重点的未来规划讲习班上报告，并通过已建立的社区万维网网址报告，以确保广泛传播
