U.S.-Vietnam Cooperative Research: Reconstructing the History of the Song Hong (Red River), Vietnam

OISE-0439414 Clift这是一个美国-伍兹霍尔海洋研究所Peter Cliff博士和越南石油研究所Nguyen Anh Duc教授之间的越南合作研究项目，以重建越南宋河的历史。他们建议从越南霍奈盆地石油钻孔的6个年龄段的岩心中分析沉积物来源。 这是一个复杂的方法，使用Nd同位素来研究亚洲大地构造中的一个重要问题。 研究结果为喜马拉雅隆升对该三角洲的影响提供了有用的信息。 这次合作为美国和越南地球物理学界之间有限的互动提供了一个良好的开端。

OISE-0439414Clift This is a U.S.-Vietnam cooperative research project between Dr. Peter Cliff, Woods Hole Institute of Oceanography and Professor Nguyen Anh Duc, Vietnam Petroleum Institute to reconstruct the history of the Song River, Vietnam. They proposed to analyze sediment sources from a core consisting 6 age intervals from a petroleum borehole in the Honai Basin, Vietnam. This is a sophisticated approach using Nd isotopes to study an important question in Asian tectonics. The results can provide useful information on the effect of Himalayan uplift on this river delta. This cooperation provides a good start for the limited interaction between the geophysical communities in the U.S. and Vietnam.
