U.S.-Italy Planning Visit: Cooperative Research on Apennine Tectonics

[0109922 . Cowan]这项为期12个月的奖金将支持华盛顿大学的Darrel Cowan和7名共同首席研究员与罗马第三大学的Francesco Dramis博士规划一项关于亚平宁构造的合作研究项目。该项目的目的是回顾美国和意大利目前和过去在亚平宁北部的研究，制定具体的合作项目，并从罗马到博洛尼亚亚平宁进行实地考察，让所有合作项目负责人有机会一起观察他们研究区域的地形、岩石和结构。在意大利研究人员的合作下，随后的联合项目“后退-海沟，延伸和吸积构造（撤退）：亚平宁北部的多学科研究”有可能成为一个世界级的研究区域，对其他构造系统具有重要的更广泛的影响。

0109922CowanThis twelve-month award will provide support for Darrel Cowan of the University of Washington and seven co-principal investigators to plan a cooperative research project with Dr. Francesco Dramis at the University of Rome III on Apennine tectonics. The objective of the project is to review the US and Italian current and past research in the northern Apennines, formulate specific collaborative projects, and make a field excursion from Rome to the Bologna Apennines, to give all the co-PIs the opportunity to view together the terrain, rocks, and structures of their study area. With the cooperation of the Italian researchers, the subsequent joint project, "Retreating-trench, extension, and accretion tectonics (RETREAT): a multidisciplinary study of the northern Apennines," has the potential to be a world-class study area with important broader implications for other tectonic systems.
