Yunnan-Indochina Continental Dynamics Planning Workshop

该奖项为美国地球科学家参加在昆明(云南省)举办的大陆动力学规划研讨会提供支持，中国。研讨会的目的是协调东南亚和西藏造山带东缘的研究，测试印度-欧亚板块碰撞模式。来自中国、越南和泰国的科学家目前正在与美国同事合作研究大陆吸积的基本问题，这些问题尚未从软流圈-岩石圈相互作用的角度得到有效解决。讲习班计划作为审查和最后确定科学目标和建立协调一致的协作战略的机会。

The purpose of the workshop is to coordinate research in southeast Asia and eastern margins of the Tibetan orogen testing India-Eurasia plate collision models. Scientists from China, Vietnam and Thailand are presently working with U.S. colleagues on fundamental problems of continental accretion, which have not, as yet, been effectively addressed in terms of asthenosphere-lithosphere interactions. The workshop is planned as an opportunity to review and finalize scientific goals and establish a coherent collaborative strategy.
