U.S.-Vietnam Cooperative Research: Reconstructing the History of the Song Hong (Red River), Vietnam

这是一个美国-越南合作研究项目，由伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所的Peter Cliff博士和越南石油研究所的Nguyen Anh Duc教授共同完成，旨在重建越南宋河的历史。他们建议分析越南Honai盆地石油钻孔中包含6个年龄间隔的岩心的沉积物来源。这是一个复杂的方法，利用Nd同位素来研究亚洲构造的一个重要问题。研究结果为研究喜马拉雅隆升对该河流三角洲的影响提供了有用的信息。这一合作为美国和越南地球物理学界之间有限的互动提供了一个良好的开端。

OISE-0439414Clift This is a U.S.-Vietnam cooperative research project between Dr. Peter Cliff, Woods Hole Institute of Oceanography and Professor Nguyen Anh Duc, Vietnam Petroleum Institute to reconstruct the history of the Song River, Vietnam. They proposed to analyze sediment sources from a core consisting 6 age intervals from a petroleum borehole in the Honai Basin, Vietnam. This is a sophisticated approach using Nd isotopes to study an important question in Asian tectonics. The results can provide useful information on the effect of Himalayan uplift on this river delta. This cooperation provides a good start for the limited interaction between the geophysical communities in the U.S. and Vietnam.
