A Study of the Origin and the Diagenesis of Travertine Deposits

这项为期三年的美国-南斯拉夫地球科学合作研究项目由鲁杰·博斯科维奇研究所的纳达·霍瓦廷契奇和休斯顿大学的亨利·s·查菲茨共同完成，其目标是研究影响瀑布淡水碳酸盐沉积物（石灰华）形成的地表物理和化学过程。在美国和南斯拉夫的联合实地考察是研究计划的一个组成部分，将使调查人员能够比较有利于开发这种矿床的地质、地质年代学和环境条件。该项目得到了美国-南斯拉夫科学技术合作联合委员会的批准，并通过一个由美国和南斯拉夫政府对等捐款组成的联合基金得到支持。美国的捐款每年由国务院提供。没有涉及NSF基金。赠款主要由南斯拉夫第纳尔组成，并支付给南斯拉夫主要研究所。赠款包括美国科学家前往南斯拉夫的旅费和南斯拉夫科学家在美国生活费的少量美元津贴

The objective of this three-year U.S.-Yugoslav cooperative research project in earth sciences between Nada Horvatincic of the Rudjer Boskovic Institute and Henry S. Chafetz of the University of Houston is to study the physical and chemical surficial processes influencing the formation of freshwater carbonate deposits (travertines) in waterfalls. Joint field trips in the USA and Yugoslavia are an integral part of the research plan and will enable the investigators to compare the geology, geochronological and environmental conditions favoring the development of such deposits. This project was approved by the U.S.-Yugoslav Joint Board on Cooperation in Science and Technology and is supported through a joint fund consisting of matching contributions from the U.S. and Yugoslav governments. The U.S. contribution is provided annually by the Department of State. No NSF funds are involved. The grants are composed principally of Yugoslav dinars and made to the principal Yugoslav institute. Grants include travel for U.S. scientists to Yugoslavia and a modest dollar allowance for Yugoslav scientists' living expenses in the U.S.
