Workshop on Geomorphic-Geodynamic Coupling at the Oregon Scale: A Himalayan Transect in Central Nepal

该奖项为尼泊尔的一个讲习班提供支持。该研讨会将汇集美国和尼泊尔的科学家，他们参与了一个项目，研究尼泊尔喜马拉雅地区的地貌、气候和构造过程之间的相互作用和反馈。研讨会的目的是讨论研究项目的后勤，预览尼泊尔政府机构已经收集的可用数据，在两个小组之间建立正式合作，划分某些数据收集任务的责任，走遍研究区域，确定未来详细研究的支流集水区，并收集样本，用于测试各种方法对侵蚀、变形和气候的量化的效用。＊＊＊

9614749 Burbank This award provides support for a workshop in Nepal. The workshop will bring together American and Nepalese scientists involved in a project to study the interactions and feedbacks between geomorphic, climatic, and tectonic processes in the Nepalese Himalaya. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the logistics of the research project, to preview the available data already collected by governmental agencies in Nepal, to set up formal collaborations between the two groups, to partition responsibilities for certain data-collection tasks, to walk through the study area, to identify tributary catchments for detailed studies in the future, and to collect samples which can be used to test the utility of various approaches to the quantification of erosion, deformation, and climate. ***
