U.S. Participation in the International Geological Correlation Program 1990-91

这一奖项是美国国家科学基金会对美国参与国际地质对比计划(IGCP)的财政支持的延续。该报告由美国地质学会代表美国IGCP全国委员会(USNC)提交。这项提议包括17个项目，每个项目的平均费用为5000美元。每个项目的预算都已由美国国际地球科学计划全国委员会审查。IGCP是由国际地质科学联合会(IUGS)和联合国教育、科学及文化组织联合发起的一项多学科科学计划，以目前的形式于1973年建立。国际地球科学计划的主要目标是促进在全球地质问题研究方面的国际合作，重点是重大地质事件、地质灾害以及能源和矿产资源的性质和顺序。项目工作通过52个单独的研究项目进行，其中17个项目在美国设有工作组。

This award is a renewal of financial support by the NSF for U.S. participation in the International Geological Correlation Program (IGCP). It is submitted by the American Geological Institute on behalf of the U.S. National Committee (USNC) for IGCP. This proposal encompasses 17 projects at an average cost of $5,000 each. The budget of each project has been reviewed by the USNC for IGCP. IGCP is a multidisciplinary scientific program established in its present form in 1973, sponsored jointly by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) and by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. The principal goal of IGCP is to promote international cooperation in research on global geologic problems, with emphasis on the nature and sequence of major geologic events, geologic hazards and energy and mineral resources. Program work is carried out through 52 individual research projects, 17 of which have U.S. working groups.
