Description: This project supports collaboration by two scientists from Pakistan with scientists from several U.S. universities in investigating the crustal/mantle structure and kinematics of deformation of Pakistan Himalayas, and to relate deep structures to geological features at the surface. The two Pakistani scientists are Dr. R.A. Tahirkheli of the University of Peshawar, and Mr. S.R. Poonegar of the Department of Water and Power in Pakistan. They plan to visit Drs. R. Lillie, R. Lawrence, and R. Yeats at Oregon State University; Dr. Gary Johnson at Dartmouth College, as well as other scientists at the University of Southern California and the University of Nebraska. During these visits, the scientists will work to finalize a regional geological map of the northwestern sector of the Indo-Kohistan and Eurasian Plates in Pakistan. A map at 1:1,000,000 scale is currently not available for Northwest Pakistan where three mountain ranges of the world, the Himalayas, Karakorum, and Hindu Kush, meet. U.S. scientists have contributed to exploring this remote region in the areas of sedimentology, stratigraphy, structure, tectonics, seismotectonics, paleomagnetism, radiometric dating, and fission track dating. It is desired that information incorporated into the regional geological map be checked and be correct. Scope: This project supports an important visit by two key scientists from Pakistan who can contribute greatly to the accuracy of a proposed publication that will be of wide scientific use. The visit will help increase collaboration between scientists of the U.S. and Pakistan, and also help with opening avenues to research in the area of global seismic network.

描述：该项目支持巴基斯坦的两名科学家与美国几所大学的科学家的合作，以调查巴基斯坦喜马拉雅山变形的地壳/地幔结构和运动学，并将深层结构与地面的地质特征联系起来。 两位巴基斯坦科学家是R.A.博士白沙瓦大学的Tahirkheli和S.R.先生 巴基斯坦水与电力部的POONEGAR。 他们计划访问博士。俄勒冈州立大学的R. Lillie，R。Lawrence和R. Yeats；达特茅斯学院的加里·约翰逊博士以及南加州大学和内布拉斯加州大学的其他科学家。 在这些访问期间，科学家将努力敲定印度 - 科希尔（Indo-Kohistan）西北部地区和巴基斯坦欧亚板块的区域地质图。 西北巴基斯坦目前无法使用1：1,000,000的地图，世界三个山脉，喜马拉雅山，卡拉科鲁姆和印度教库什见面。 美国科学家为在沉积学，地层学，结构，构造学，地震原理，古磁性，辐射测定和裂变轨道约会方面的领域探索了这个偏远地区。 需要检查并入区域地质图中的信息并正确。 范围：该项目支持巴基斯坦的两位主要科学家的重要访问，他们可以为拟议出版物的准确性做出巨大贡献，这些出版物将广泛使用。 这次访问将有助于增加美国和巴基斯坦科学家之间的合作，并有助于开放在全球地震网络领域进行研究的途径。
