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.

[00:20 . 80]这个奖项将支持一个关于弧-大陆碰撞和大陆地壳演化的小型研讨会。研讨会将在美国亚利桑那州立大学举行，研讨会的总体目标是制定研究策略，以了解台湾这个世界上经典的造山带之一正在进行的碰撞的时空演变。大陆动力学项目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-碰撞转变中的地壳尺度特征。然而，缺少的是对造山带的综合观点，该观点将地壳尺度的过程与露头尺度的运动学、挖掘和地表过程在时间和空间上结合起来。讲习班将制定一项研究计划，以发展这种造山过程的综合观点。该研讨会将包括促进国内和国际合作以及将本科生纳入国际地球科学研究的计划。
