U.S.-Mexico Planning Visit to Participate in Project SAMPLE Jalisco: Jalisco, Mexico

96-VanDeCar这次美墨计划访问将为华盛顿卡内基研究所的John C.VanDeCar博士和Sean C.所罗门博士提供差旅支持，以便他们可以参与项目Sample Jalisco(墨西哥哈利斯科微板块演化的地震分析)。该项目将提供有关哈利斯科地区以及其他板块边界演化的基本科学问题的理解。在这个特殊的时刻，哈利斯科地区将作为一个天然的实验室，研究北美西海岸从俯冲到转换运动的转变过程中所受到的力量。墨西哥方面的合作者、墨西哥国立自治大学的Gerardo Suarez博士得到了NSF对应机构CONACYT的支持。双方将在现场放置地震仪，定期返回网络服务，最后对数据进行分析。***

96------ VanDecar This U.S.-Mexico Planning Visit will provide travel support to Drs. John C. VanDecar and Sean C. Solomon of Carnegie Institution of Washington so that they may participate in project SAMPLE Jalisco (Seismic Analysis of Micro-Plate Evolution, Jalisco, Mexico). This project will provide understanding of fundamental scientific questions which concern the evolution of the Jalisco area, as well as other plate boundaries. The Jalisco area at this particular time will act as a natural laboratory to study the forces that have shaped the west coast of North America in its transition from subduction to transform motion. The collaborator on the Mexican side, Dr. Gerardo Suarez at Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, is being supported by NSF's counterpart agency, CONACYT. Both sides will place seismometers in the field, return periodically to service the network, and finally, analyze the data. ***
