U.S.-Taiwan Cooperative Research: Study of Mountain Buildup in Taiwan Using R/V Ewing Airgun Signals

这是由美国纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿分校的Francis Wu博士和台湾中央研究院地球科学研究所的叶义雄教授共同提出的为期两年的奖项。本提案要求拨款前往台湾，并支持一名研究生分析由R/V尤因收集的数据。摘要本研究的目的在于了解台湾弧陆碰撞的造山过程。从R/V尤因和中国石油公司收集的信息可以为深部地壳结构提供有用的见解。该项目还为美国研究生提供了在台湾顶尖研究机构使用一套独特数据并获得国际研究经验的机会。​

9513945 Wu This is a two-year award proposed by Dr. Francis Wu, SUNY at Binghamton and Professor Yih-Hsiung Yeh, Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica in Taiwan. This proposal requests funds for travel to Taiwan and for supporting one graduate student to analyze the data collected by the R/V Ewing. The goal of this study is to understand mountain buildup in the Taiwan arc-continent collision. The information collected both from the R/V Ewing and from the Chinese Petroleum Company can provide useful insights regarding deep crustal structures. This project also provides opportunities for a U.S. graduate student to work with a unique set of data and to gain international research experience at a top research institute in Taiwan. The project is jointly supported by the Taiwan National Science Council and the NSF.
