Travel Support for U.S. Participants in the 1990 International Symposium on the Oman Ophiolite

教科文组织和阿曼石油和矿产部将于1990年1月15日至18日在阿曼马斯喀特共同主办蛇绿岩研讨会。在会议之前，将对阿曼北部经典蛇绿岩带的许多地点进行为期八天的实地考察，这是研讨会目标的重要组成部分。亨利·迪克博士已获得资金，用于在需要旅行支持的美国申请者中分发参加这次研讨会的资金。罗伯特·德特里克博士、艾伦·卡普尔博士和罗伯特·科尔曼博士将加入迪克博士的行列，从众多申请者中挑选接受者。选择将基于申请人的身份、这一经历与他/她的研究兴趣的相关性以及可用资金。将为最多10名研究生和博士后提供大量支持；为知名科学家提供的资金将尽可能用剩下的资金。这些资金的管理将通过世界卫生组织地球动力学方案进行。

UNESCO and the Ministry of Petroleum and Minerals in Oman are co-sponsoring a symposium on ophiolites in Muscat, Oman from January 1 5-18, 1990. Eight days of field trips to numerous sites throughout the classic ophiolite belt in northern Oman will precede the conference, and are an important component to the objectives of the symposium. Dr. Henry Dick has been awarded funds to distribute among US applicants needing travel support to attend this symposium. Drs. Robert Detrick, Ellen Kappel and Robert Coleman will join Dr. Dick in the process of choosing recipients from a pool of applicants. Selection will be based on the applicant's status, the relevancy of this experience to his/her research interests, and available funds. Substantial support will be provided for up to 10 graduate students and post-docs; funds for established scientists will go as far as possible with the money that remains. The administration of these funds will be handled through the WHOI Geodynamics Program.
