The Subduction Factory: Proposal for a Workshop

小行星9730301 会聚边缘是大部分地壳物质在俯冲带再循环的地方，但人们对此知之甚少。 提供资金举办一个题为“俯冲工厂”的国际讲习班，使海洋地球科学家聚集一堂，规划一项侧重于一两个地球会聚边缘的综合和多学科研究。 利用现有的和立管钻井技术，目标边缘必须在进入的板块、前弧、弧和可能的后弧中可钻孔。俯冲工厂是MARGINS倡议下确定的一个高度优先问题。讲习班将于1998年夏季举行，预计约有35人参加。

9730301 Morris Convergent margins are places where a large percentage of the crustal material is recycled at the subduction zones and yet poorly understood. Funds are provided to hold an international workshop entitled Subduction Factory to bring together marine geoscientists to plan an integrated and multidisciplinary study focused on one or two of the Earth's convergent margins. The targeted margins will be have to be drillable in the incoming plate, the forearc, the arc, and possibly the backarc, using existing and riser drilling technologies. The Subduction Factory is a high priority issue identified under the MARGINS initiative. The workshop will be held in the summer of 1998 and some 35 participants are expected.
