US-Egypt: Planning Visit for Collaboration for RCL MARGINS Research

0424682卡纳该奖项是对哥伦比亚大学和其他美国大学的一个地质学家团队的规划访问的支持，该团队由哥伦比亚大学拉蒙特·多尔蒂地球天文台的加里·卡纳博士领导，他们计划访问埃及，为一个大型、多所大学的计划制定计划，并提交给NSF。有证据表明，在美国调查人员申请NSF支持之前，埃及需要达成明确的协议，支持美国调查人员在埃及进行研究。PI和他的一些同事将会见埃及国家天文和地球物理研究所(NIARG)所长阿里·蒂勒布博士，讨论涉及的问题，以及美国和埃及的几个研究机构预计将参与拟议中的研究。双方将澄清美国和埃及在这项研究红海裂谷的重大研究工作中的合作条款。在这项工作中，一艘考察船上的研究人员将在埃及领海和埃及海岸沿线的陆地上开展工作。鉴于邻近大陆的运动，这项研究有望阐明红海盆地的演化，并可能解释导致该地区国家地震活动的一些现象。

0424682Karner This award is for support of a planning visit by a team of geologists from Columbia and other US universities, headed by Dr. Garry Karner, Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, to Egypt to develop plans for a large, multi-university, proposal on MARGINS to be submitted to NSF. There is evidence that there is a need to have firm Egyptian agreement to support US investigators doing research within Egypt before these investigators may apply for NSF support. The PI and some of his colleagues will meet with Dr. Aly Tealeb, the president of Egypt's National Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics Research (NIARG), to discuss the issues involved and the expected participation by several research institutes in the U.S. and several others in Egypt in the proposed research. The two sides are to clarify terms of US-Egypt collaboration in this major research effort to study the Red Sea rift in which researchers on a research vessel will conduct work in Egyptian territorial waters and on the land along the length of Egypt's coast. The research is expected to shed light on the evolution of the Red Sea basin given the movements of the adjacent continents, and may explain some of the phenomena leading to seismic activities in the countries in the region.
