U.S.-Russia Workshop on the Plate Tectonic Evolution of Northeast Russia

这是一个关于俄罗斯东北部板块构造演化的美俄研讨会。它将汇集来自俄罗斯和美国的主要研究科学家，他们对研究北太平洋和北极的板块构造演化感兴趣，重点是俄罗斯东北部的区域地质学和地球物理学。研讨会的共同组织者是斯坦福大学的Elizabeth Miller博士和俄罗斯符拉迪沃斯托克远东地质研究所的Alexander Khanchuk博士。本次研讨会的主要目标是制定一个长期的科学计划，并概述利用现有专业知识、数据库、实验室和机构能力的潜在合作项目。俄罗斯东北部在北极和北太平洋边缘的地质和构造历史知识方面存在最大的空白。填补这一知识缺口对于提高对这些边缘的美国部分的理解也是至关重要的。这次研讨会也是美国青年科学家和学生与俄罗斯东北部广阔而偏远地区的专家会面和分享知识的绝佳机会。该研讨会实现了将美国和俄罗斯的顶尖专家聚集在一起的计划目标，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的努力和能力。

This is a U.S.-Russian workshop on the plate tectonic evolution of northeast Russia.It will bring together key research scientists from Russia and the U.S. with an interest in investigating the plate tectonic evolution of the North Pacific and the Arctic, with focus on the regional geology and geophysics of NE Russia. The co-organizers of the workshop are Dr. Elizabeth Miller from Stanford University and Dr. Alexander Khanchuk from the Far East Geological Institute in Vladivostok, Russia.The primary goal of this workshop is to frame a long-term scientific plan and to outline potential collaborative projects that utilize existing expertise, databases, laboratories and institutional capabilities. NE Russia represents the biggest gap in knowledge of the geologic and tectonic history of the Arctic and North Pacific margins. Filling this knowledge gap is essential for improving understanding of the U.S. portions of these margins as well. This workshop is also an exceptional opportunity for junior U.S. scientists and students to meet and share knowledge with experts on the vast and remote region of NE Russia.This workshop fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Russia to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
