28th International Geological Congress, Washington, DC: Field Trip on the Tectonics of the Scotia Arc

这一奖项是为了支持美国对1989年由美国主办的国际地质大会的一部分，即前往南极洲的斯科舍弧区进行地质实地考察。已请求阿根廷和智利作为共同东道主参加，并请求共同赞助南极研究科学委员会(国际科学联合会理事会)。这将是第一次专业地质实地考察南极洲。这次地质实地考察对于广泛传播南极地质知识和检验十多年来对斯科舍弧和南极半岛古环境和构造演化的研究具有重要意义。这次实地考察计划于1988年夏天进行--乘坐极地公爵房车，将汇集世界其他地方在可比构造环境和地质问题的所有阶段的专家。这次实地考察是南极地球科学的一个重要方面，将为这一重要领域的未来研究指明新的方向。

This award is in support of a geological field trip to the Scotia Arc of Antarctica as part of the U.S. contribution to the International Geological Congress which will be hosted by the United States in 1989. The participation of Argentina and Chile as co-hosts has been requested, as well as the co-sponsorship of the Scientific Committee of Antarctic Research (International Council of Scientific Unions). This will be the first professional geologic field trip to Antarctica. This geological field trip is significant for the wide dissemination of Antarctic geological knowledge and for the testing of over a decade's research into the paleoenvironmental and tectonic evolution of the Scotia Arc and Antarctic Peninsula. This field trip is planned for the austral summer of 1988-89 on board the RV POLAR DUKE and will bring together scientists expert in all phases of comparable tectonic settings and geologic problems elsewhere in the world. The field trip is an important aspect of the Antarctic geosciences and will point to new directions for future research in this important area.
