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

国际研究与教育伙伴关系(PERR)2007年建议编号：0730154 PI：绵刘研究所：密苏里大学-哥伦比亚分校标题：PERR：美国与中国在板内地震研究和教育方面的合作本PERR(国际综合研究与教育)项目将与美国和中国的合作伙伴共同开展一个为期五年的项目，以调查是什么导致中国北部的板内大地震，并提高对美国新马德里地区板内地震活动的了解。PERE将资助一项广泛的教职员工和学生研究计划，以联合成像地壳和地幔结构，测量地壳形变，并对地震物理进行一般探索。密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校地球科学系教授刘冕领导着与其他三所美国机构的合作：俄克拉荷马大学、科罗拉多大学和北卡罗来纳州立大学。该项目将在为期五年的课程中培训美国方面的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(GPS和InSAR)、地震地质学(海沟和海洋古地震学)和地球动力学建模。中国地震局和相关的中国科学家为新的地震台网、钻井、现场支持和互补的专业知识做出了贡献。该项目有一项在学生一级招募代表性不足的少数群体的计划，并将通过讲习班、暑期研习班、课程编制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。该项目是与地球科学局的两个项目共同资助的：加强地球科学多样性的机会(OEDG)计划和地球科学部的地表地球过程计划。

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.
