Symposium on the Icelandic Plume and Crust

这次研讨会将汇集一直在冰岛工作的美国、冰岛、欧洲和日本的调查人员。专题讨论会将综合有关冰岛热柱及其地幔结构和熔融过程、地壳结构和火山作用以及与邻近扩张中心的相互作用的知识现状。它还将确定有待解决的悬而未决的科学问题，并建议未来进行研究以解决这些问题。研讨会将得到国家科学基金会、冰岛研究理事会和冰岛Svartsengi地热发电厂的支持。

This symposium will bring together US, Icelandic, European, and Japanese investigators who have been working in Iceland. The symposium will synthesize the present state of knowledge regarding the Iceland plume and its mantle structure and melting process, its crustal structure and volcanism, and its interaction with adjacent spreading centers. It will also identify the outstanding scientific problems that remain to be addressed and recommend future research to solve these problems. The symposium will be supported by the National Science Foundation, the Icelandic Research Council, and the Svartsengi Geothermal Power Plant of Iceland.
