Ellsworth Mountains Workshop, Macalester College, March 25-27, 1994

小行星9408082 该奖项支持南极洲埃尔斯沃思山脉地质学研讨会。 埃尔斯沃思山脉是大陆块的一部分，在冈瓦纳大陆解体之前是南极洲东部的一部分。 该地块在西南极构造微板块中占有关键位置，因此了解其完整的地质发展尤为重要。 这一区域对于ANTALITH方案（横跨西南极洲至东南极洲的综合地球物理和地质穿越方案）的总体目标特别重要，该方案的总体目标是了解横跨西南极洲和东南极洲边界的大陆地壳结构。 这次研讨会将使科学家们能够根据北美和南极洲是前冈瓦纳超大陆的一部分的新假设审查最近完成的工作，并将允许讨论，辩论和定义埃尔斯沃思山脉地区未来的研究目标。 ***

9408082 Webers This award supports a workshop of the geology of the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. The Ellsworth Mountains are part of a continental block that was part of East Antarctica prior to the breakup of Gondwana. This block occupies a key position in the tectonic micro-plates of West Antarctica and so it is especially important to understand its full geologic development. This region is particularly important to the overall objectives of the ANTALITH program (an integrated geophysical and geological traverse across West Antarctica to East Antarctica) which are to understanding the structure of the continental crust across the boundary between West Antarctica and East Antarctica. This workshop will allow scientists to review recently completed work in light of the new hypothesis that North America and Antarctica were part of a pre-Gondwana supercontinent and will allow discussion, debate, and definition, of future research objectives in the Ellsworth Mountains region. ***
