INDO-U.S. Geomagetism Symposium, Bombay, India, August 22-26, 1994, Award in Indian Currency

该提案将支持由印度地磁研究所（IIG）于1994年8月22日至26日在孟买主办的第一次美印地磁联合研讨会。其目的是与印度科学家一起探索有前途的新研究领域，如赤道电喷流对磁场卫星的影响、印度洋的海洋磁数据、岩石磁学和生物磁学。该研讨会是由美国地球动力学委员会发起并由美国国家科学基金会支持的研讨会的结果，“全球磁环境：挑战和机遇，华盛顿特区，1992年3月”。研讨会的主题包括：1)地磁研究在地球深部、地壳、海洋、电离层和近地环境中的应用范围；2)新的研究领域；3)确定观测站/共享设施的更优位置；4)新兴项目的全球方面。范围：考虑到美国地磁学家对了解印度同行的工作表现出的强烈兴趣，以及印度长期以来与美国科学家合作的愿望，拟议的研讨会是印度和美国地磁学家之间开始交流的一个非常有效的工具。美国国家科学基金会将为本次研讨会的五名美国与会者提供旅费支持。印度在地磁赤道的位置为美国在这一领域的合作提供了独特的机会

9412800 Cande Description: This proposal will support the first joint U.S.- Indo symposium in geomagnetism which will be hosted by the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG), Bombay, August 22-26, 1994. Its purpose is to explore promising new areas of research with Indian scientists such as the effect of the equatorial electrojet on magnetic field satellites, marine magnetic data from the Indian Ocean, rock magnetism, and biomagnetism. The symposium is an activity resulting from a workshop initiated by the U.S. Geodynamics Committee and supported by NSF, "The Global Magnetic Environment: Challenges and Opportunities, Washington, D.C., March 1992." Workshop topics included: 1) the scope of geomagnetic research as applied to the deep Earth, the Earth's crust, the oceans, the ionosphere and near Earth Environment, 2) new areas of research, 3) identification of more optimum locations for observatories/shared facilities, and 4) the global aspects of emerging programs. Scope: Considering the strong interest expressed by American geomagnetists in learning about the work of their Indian colleagues, as well as India's long standing desire to collaborate with US scientists, the proposed symposium is a highly effective vehicle for beginning communication between Indian and U.S. geomagnetists. NSF will provide travel support for five US participants at this workshop. India's location at the geomagnetic equator provides unique opportunities for collaboration in this field for the U.S. ***
