Workshop to Prepare a Summary Volume for the Geophysical Investigation of a Modern Continent-Continent Collisional Orogen, The Southern Alps, New Zealand

该奖项将支持“现代大陆-大陆碰撞造山带的地球物理研究——新西兰南阿尔卑斯山”项目的科学总结研讨会。该项目由大陆动力公司在1994 - 2000年期间资助。该项目是美国和新西兰地球科学家之间的一次成功合作。在该项目期间，对若干学科进行了广泛的实地观察，分析结果产生了30多份经同行审查的实质性出版物，还有一些正在审查或准备中。两国有30多名直接参与者和同等数量的合作科学家和学生参与了大陆动力学和新西兰科学基金项目资助的科学研究。这次研讨会是一个更大的努力的一步，目的是出版一本关于印度-澳大利亚/太平洋板块边界的出版物。该卷将包含一系列新的综合论文，总结和整合现有已发表论文的大部分结果。因此，数量将代表美国-新西兰联合项目所获得的累积知识。研讨会将汇集积极贡献和撰写手稿的项目成员。研讨会将在新西兰举行，美国和新西兰的作者和学生将聚集在一起讨论手稿内容和写作准备。

This project was funded by Continental Dynamics during the period 1994 - 2000. The project was a successful collaboration between U.S. and New Zealand geoscientists. During the project, extensive field observations were made in several disciplines, and the resulting analyses have produced over 30 substantive peer-reviewed publications with additional ones in review or in preparation. Over 30 direct participants and an equal number of cooperating scientists and students from both countries have engaged in scientific research funded by Continental Dynamics and the N.Z. Science Foundation programs.The workshop is one step in a larger effort to create a publication volume focused on the Indo-Australian/Pacific plate boundary. The volume will contain a series of new synthesis papers summarizing and integrating much of the results from the existing published papers. As such the volume will represent the cumulative knowledge gained by the joint US-NZ project. The workshop will bring together project members who are actively contributing to and writing manuscripts. The workshop will be held in New Zealand where US and NZ authors and students will assemble to discuss manuscript content and writing preparation.
