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.

0424682 Karner这个奖项是为了支持一个由哥伦比亚和其他美国大学的地质学家组成的团队，由哥伦比亚大学拉蒙·多尔蒂地球观测站的Garry Karner博士领导，前往埃及为一个大型的多大学的计划制定计划，并向NSF提交关于MARGINS的建议。 有证据表明，有必要有坚定的埃及同意，以支持美国调查人员在埃及境内进行研究之前，这些调查人员可以申请国家科学基金会的支持。 PI和他的一些同事将会见埃及国家天文学和地球物理研究所（NIARG）所长Aly Tealeb博士，讨论所涉及的问题以及美国几个研究机构和埃及其他几个研究机构的预期参与。 双方将澄清美国和埃及在这一研究红海裂谷的重大研究工作中的合作条款，研究人员将乘坐一艘研究船在埃及领海沃茨和埃及海岸沿着的陆地上开展工作。 预计这项研究将有助于了解红海盆地在邻近大陆运动的情况下的演变，并可能解释导致该区域各国地震活动的一些现象。
