MARGINS Education and Planning Workshop: Rupturing Continental Lithsophere at the Red Sea/Gulf of Suez

为将于2001年3月在红海举行的边际倡议下的教育和规划讲习班提供资金。红海和苏伊士湾地区是陆缘界为研究大陆岩石圈破裂形成新洋盆的基本过程而选择的两个“焦点”地区之一。研讨会将在开罗和沙拉姆沙伊赫举行，并将为美国科学家和来自焦点研究区域周围国家的潜在合作者之间的互动提供一个论坛。研讨会包括沿着苏伊士裂谷进行为期两天的实地考察，然后在Sharam el-Shiekh举行为期三天的研讨会，总结该地区的知识状况，并讨论进一步的研究需要。

Funding is provided for an education and planning workshop under the MARGINS initiative to be held in March 2001 on the Red Sea. Red Sea and Gulf of Suez area is one of the two chosen "focus" areas selected by the MARGINS community to study the fundamental processes of rupturing continental lithosphere to form new ocean basins. The workshop will be held in Cairo and Sharam el-Sheikh and will provide a forum for interaction between US scientists and potential collaborators from countries surrounding the focus study area. The workshop includes a 2-day field trip along the Suez rift followed by a 3-day seminar in Sharam el-Shiekh that will summarize the state of the knowledge about the area and discuss further research need.
