Arc-continent Collisions and the Evolution of Continental Crust - A Mini-Workshop

该奖项将支持一个关于弧陆碰撞和大陆地壳演化的小型研讨会。研讨会将在亚利桑那州立大学举行，研讨会的总体目标是制定一项研究战略，以了解世界上经典造山带之一台湾正在进行的碰撞的时间和空间演变。大陆动力学计划正在资助台湾的一个大型多学科项目(TAIGER)，该项目将进行广泛的地球物理调查，以更好地定义俯冲-碰撞过渡中的地壳尺度特征。然而，缺少的是一张造山带的综合图景，它将地壳尺度的过程与露头尺度的运动学、折返和地表过程在时间和空间上结合起来。研讨会将建立一个研究计划，以发展这一造山过程的综合图景。讲习班将包括促进国家和国际合作以及将本科生纳入国际地球科学研究的计划。

0802080ByrneThis award will support a small workshop on arc-continent collisions and the evolution of the continental crust. The workshop will be held at Arizona State University and the overall goal of the workshop is to develop a research strategy for understanding the temporal and spatial evolution of the ongoing collision in Taiwan, one of the world's classic orogenic belts. The Continental Dynamics Program is funding a large multidisciplinary project in Taiwan (TAIGER) that will carry out extensive geophysical surveys which will provide better definition of the crustal-scale features in the subduction-collision transition. What is missing, however, is a synthetic view of the orogen that integrates crustal-scale processes with outcrop-scale kinematics and exhumation and surface processes through both time and space.The workshop will establish a research plan to develop this synthetic view of the orogenic processes. The workshop will include plans for fostering national and international collaborations and for integrating undergraduates into international geoscience research.
