Digital, Layered and Manipulateble Maps for the SE and E part of the Tibetan plateau: A new type map presentation

派是麻省理工学院一位杰出的地质学家，他花了25年多的时间研究和绘制青藏高原东部的地图。这项研究的大部分工作都得到了大陆动力学计划的资助。这些工作的成果构成了即将出版的一本书的基础--《青藏高原东南部和东部及其前陆的构造》。这是第一次对该地区的地质进行这样的总结，并对其演化进行了重大的新的综合。这项工作将作为中国这一部分乃至整个东南亚大地构造研究的基本框架。该奖项将为完成地图的图版提供支持，地图是本书的重要组成部分。这些图版的独特之处在于，它们是一种数字分层演示，有两种基本格式，读者可以完全操纵。这样的介绍可能会推动其他地球科学家以这种格式出版地图，这可能代表着未来出版地质材料的风格。

The PI is a prominent geologist at MIT who has spent more than 25 years studying and mapping the Eastern Tibetan Plateau. Much of this work has been funded by the Continental Dynamics Program. The results of this body of work form the basis of a book about to be published, ?Tectonics of the SE and E Tibetan Plateau and Its Foreland?. It is the first such summary of the geology of this region with a major new synthesis for its evolution. This work will serve as a basic framework for tectonic research in this part of China as well as SE Asia in general.This award will provide support to complete the plates for the maps that are an essential component of the book. The plates are unique in that they are a digital and layered presentation in two basic formats that can be fully manipulated by the reader. Such a presentation may represent impetus for other Earth scientists to publish maps in this format, which may represent the future style for publication of geological materials.
