PIRE: A US-China partnership in research and education of intraplate earthquakes

2007年国际研究与教育伙伴关系（PIRE）摘要提案编号：0730154 PI：Mian Liu机构：密苏里-哥伦比亚大学标题：PIRE：美中在板内地震研究和教育方面的伙伴关系（综合国际研究和教育）项目加入了美国和中国的合作伙伴，在五个-该项目的主要目的是研究华北地区板内大地震的成因，提高对美国新马德里地区板内地震活动的认识。PIRE将资助一个广泛的教师和学生研究项目，共同成像地壳和地幔结构，测量地壳变形，并探索地震物理学。 哥伦比亚密苏里州大学地球科学系教授Mian Liu领导了与其他三所美国机构的合作：俄克拉荷马州大学，科罗拉多大学和北卡罗来纳州州立大学。 该项目将在5年的时间里为美方培训23名研究生、20名本科生和50名科学教师。中方合作伙伴是北京大学地球物理研究所的陈永顺、南京大学地球科学系的王良树和中国科学院研究生院地球科学学院的石耀林。 该项目将通过制作数据集、计算机模型和课程材料，使更广泛的地球科学界受益。 该项目结合了大地测量技术，包括被动和主动地震成像、地壳运动（全球定位系统和干涉合成孔径雷达）、地震地质学（挖沟和海洋古地震学）和地球动力学建模。 中国地震局和相关的中国科学家提供了一个新的地震网络、钻探、现场支持和补充专业知识。该项目有一个在学生一级招募代表性不足的少数民族的计划，并将通过讲习班，暑期学院，课程开发和其他外联活动影响大量K-12科学教师，学生和更广泛的公众。 该项目由地球科学理事会的两个项目共同资助：加强地球科学多样性的机会（OEDG）计划和地球科学部的地表过程计划。

Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) 2007ABSTRACTProposal No: 0730154PI: Mian Liu Institution: University of Missouri-ColumbiaTitle: PIRE: A US-China partnership in research and education of intraplate earthquakesThis PIRE (integrated international research and education) project joins the U.S. and Chinese partners in a five-year project to investigate what causes large intraplate earthquakes in North China and improve understanding of intraplate seismicity in the New Madrid region of the Unit4ed States. The PIRE will fund an extensive program of faculty and student research to jointly image crustal and mantle structure, measure crustal deformation, and explore earthquake physics generally. Mian Liu, Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Missouri, Columbia, leads a partnership with three other U.S. institutions: the University of Oklahoma, University of Colorado, and North Carolina State University. The project will train 23 graduate students, 20 undergraduate students and 50 science teachers on the U.S. side during its five-year course. The Chinese partners are CHEN, Yongshun, Institute of Geophysics at Peking University, WANG, Liangshu, Department of Earth Sciences, Nanjing University, Nanjing, and SHI, Yaolin, College of Earth Sciences, Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing. The project will benefit the broader geosciences community through the production of data sets, computer models and curriculum materials. The project combines geodetic techniques including passive and active seismic imaging, crustal motion (GPS and InSAR), earthquake geology (trenching and marine paleoseismology) and geodynamic modeling. The China Earthquake Administration and associated Chinese scientists contribute a new seismic network, drilling, field support and complementary expertise. The project has a plan for recruiting underrepresented minorities at the student level, and will impact a large number of K-12 science teachers, students and the broader public via workshops, summer institutes, curriculum development, and other outreach activities. This project is co-funded with two programs in the Directorate for Geosciences: the Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences (OEDG) program, and the Surface Earth Processes Program of the Division of Earth Sciences.
