U.S.-Mexico Planning Visit for Preparation of Baja California, Mexico Continental Dynamics Proposal

99786552 Jiracek美国-墨西哥奖将支持一项计划会议，该会议由圣地亚哥州立大学的George Jiracek与16名墨西哥研究人员协调，墨西哥方面由恩塞纳达高等教育科学调查中心（CICESE）的Enrique Gomez Trevino协调，对下加利福尼亚-加利福尼亚湾板块边缘进行为期3年的多学科地球物理/地质综合研究。这项两国研究将使用一种独特的海上和陆上方法组合，包括主动和被动地震调查、大地电磁测深和地质测绘，来调查这一活动边缘的重要演化过程。这些结果将有助于理解全球大陆边缘现在和过去的演化

9978652JiracekThis U.S.-Mexico award will support a planning meeting involving 12 U.S. scientists, under the coordination of George Jiracek of San Diego State University, with 16 Mexican researchers, coordinated on the Mexican side by Enrique Gomez Trevino of the Centro de Investigacion Cientifica y de Educacion Superior de Ensenada (CICESE), to develop an integrated 3-year, multi-disciplinary, geophysical/geological study of the Baja California-Gulf of California plate margin. The binational study would investigate important evolutionary processes at this active margin, using a unique combination of offshore and onshore methods, including active and passive seismic surveys, magnetotelluric soundings, and geologic mapping. The results would contribute to the understanding of present and past evolution of continental margins globally.***
