U.S.-China Cooperative Research (Geology): Volcanology of Changpaishan, Jilin Province

该奖项支持对太平洋对岸最近的火山地质进行比较研究的合作研究。四名美国科学家将与中国同事合作，对吉林省中国长白山火山进行实地考察。美国首席研究员德克萨斯州罗斯州立学院的James Whitford-Stark博士和武汉地质学院的冯茂森博士制定了一项研究计划，重点是调查一座成分不寻常(过碱性)的非常年轻的火山。美国和中国的科学家将参加实地考察工作；然后，中国科学家将访问美国，为6月1日在圣达菲举行的国际火山学和地球内部化学协会大会做联合演讲。。该项目由美国国家科学基金会和中国国家教委根据《中美基础科学合作议定书》共同资助。

This award supports collaborative research on comparative study of geologically recent volcanoes on opposing sides of the Pacific. In collaboration with Chinese colleagues, four U.S. scientists will conduct field exploration on the volcano Changpaishan in the Jilin Province of China. The U.S. Principal Investigator, Dr. James Whitford-Stark of Ross State College, Texas, and Dr. Feng Maoseng, Wuhan College of Geology, have defined a research plan which will focus on investigation of an extremely young volcano, of unusual composition (peralkaline). Both U.S. and Chinese scientists will participate in the field work; Chinese scientists will then visit the U.S. to develop a joint presentation for the General Assembly of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior to be held in Santa Fe on June 1989. This project is jointly supported by NSF and the Chinese State Education Commission under the US/PRC Protocol on Cooperation in Basic Sciences.
