The PI is a prominent geologist at MIT who has spent more than 25 years studying and mapping the Eastern Tibetan Plateau. Much of this work has been funded by the Continental Dynamics Program. The results of this body of work form the basis of a book about to be published, ?Tectonics of the SE and E Tibetan Plateau and Its Foreland?. It is the first such summary of the geology of this region with a major new synthesis for its evolution. This work will serve as a basic framework for tectonic research in this part of China as well as SE Asia in general.This award will provide support to complete the plates for the maps that are an essential component of the book. The plates are unique in that they are a digital and layered presentation in two basic formats that can be fully manipulated by the reader. Such a presentation may represent impetus for other Earth scientists to publish maps in this format, which may represent the future style for publication of geological materials.

PI是麻省理工学院的一位杰出地质学家，他花了25年多的时间研究和绘制青藏高原东部。 这项工作的大部分由大陆动力学计划资助。 这一机构的工作成果的基础上形成一本书即将出版，？青藏高原东南、东缘及其前陆构造 这是第一次对该地区的地质进行这样的总结，并对其演变进行了重大的新综合。 这项工作将作为中国这一地区以及整个东南亚地区构造研究的基本框架。该奖项将为完成作为本书重要组成部分的地图的板块提供支持。 该板块是独特的，因为它们是一个数字和分层介绍在两个基本格式，可以完全操纵的读者。 这样的介绍可能会推动其他地球科学家以这种格式出版地图，这可能代表未来出版地质材料的风格。
