The principal investigators will study the petrology, structure, and geologic history of the ultra-magnesian metamorphic rocks in the southwestern Pamir Mountains of the Soviet republic of Tajikistan. The study will take place in cooperation with scientists from the Soviet Union and has also been approved on the Soviet side. The study is aimed at understanding the processes involved in the metamorphism of these rocks, as well as the associated tectonic history. It will also contribute to knowledge of the collisional processes that resulted in the formation of the Alpine-Himalayan orogen.

主要研究人员将研究塔吉克斯坦苏维埃共和国帕米尔山脉西南部超镁质变质岩的岩石学、结构和地质历史。这项研究将与苏联科学家合作进行，并得到了苏联方面的批准。该研究旨在了解这些岩石的变质作用过程以及相关的构造历史。它还将有助于了解导致阿尔卑斯-喜马拉雅造山带形成的碰撞过程。
