U.S.-India Short-Term Visit: Construction of Database for Three-Dimensional Maps of Earth's Lithosphere and Asthenosphere

该奖项为国际工会的施瓦布先生提供前往印度的旅行支持。（IUGG-IUGS）岩石圈委员会/国际岩石圈方案工作组，参加与印度理工学院、印度矿业学院、Banaras印度大学和Wadia喜马拉雅地质研究所的科学家举行的三次规划会议，目的是启动一个开发印度次大陆下地球上地幔电子数据库的项目。 该数据库将与世界其他地区的类似数据库连接起来，以电子数据库形式绘制地球岩石圈和岩石圈三维图。 这一活动将对了解世界各区域内和各区域之间地球上地幔的地质过程作出重要贡献。

This award provides travel support to India for Mr. Schwab, of the Inter-Union (IUGG-IUGS) Commission on the Lithosphere/International Lithosphere Program Task Group, to participate in three planning meeting with scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology, the Indian School of Mines, Banaras Hindu University, and Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, for the purpose of initiating a project to develop an electronic data base of the earth's upper mantle under the Indian subcontinent. The data base will be linked with similar data bases from other regions of the world to construct a three-dimensional map, in electronic data base form, of the earth's lithosphere and astenosphere. This activity will result in an important contribution to the understanding of geological processes in the earth's upper mantle in and among various regions of the world.
