This is a project to plan for long-term U.S.-Azerbaijan collaborative research on the geochemistry and sequence stratigraphy of the Maikop series in Azerbaijan. The principal investigators are Cari Johnson from the University of Utah and Malakhat Efendiyeva from the Geological Institute of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences. The Maikop series is a set of shales, which are likely the source rock for one of the most prolific petroleum resources of the 20th & 21st centuries, the South Caspian Basin. If we can explain why the South Caspian Basin contains the most rapidly deposited and thickest sedimentary successions anywhere and one that contains substantial source and reservoir rocks for petroleum, this would be a major advancement in our understanding of sedimentary basins everywhere. This project in earth sciences research fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Central/Eastern Europe to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.

这是一个计划，计划在阿塞拜疆的Maikop系列的地球化学和序列地层研究中进行长期美国 - 扎拜扬的合作研究。 主要研究人员是犹他大学的Cari Johnson和阿塞拜疆国家科学学院地质研究所的Malakhat Efendiyeva。 Maikop系列是一组页岩，它可能是20世纪和21世纪最多产的石油资源之一，即南卡西亚盆地的源岩。 如果我们能解释为什么南海盆地包含任何地方最快速，最厚的沉积继承权，其中一个包含大量来源和石油的水库岩石，这将是我们对各地沉积盆地的理解的重大进步。 地球科学研究中的这项项目实现了将美国和中欧领先的专家汇集在一起​​的计划目标，以将互补的努力和能力结合在强大的共同利益和能力的领域，并基于平等，互惠和利益的共同性。
