9530886 Williams Recent political changes in the Republic of Mongolia make it possible for the first time in modern history to begin the establishment of long-term cooperative programs to study a wide variety of important scientific problems in this important region of Asia. In order to begin this process, NSF requested the P.I.s to organize a Planning Workshop for American scientists to explore and develop opportunities for cooperative research with Mongolian scientists. The purpose of the workshop is to provide the broader U.S. scientific community, including governmental and non- governmental agencies, with a coordinated science plan for future large and small scale scientific investigations in the Republic of Mongolia. Several important questions to be addressed by the workshop include: o the level of biological endemism in lakes of the Hovsgol and Darhad Grabens of northern Mongolia and the relationships between the biota of the Selenga River in northern Mongolia which connects Hovsgol Nuur with Lake Baikal; o the tectonic and structural relationship of these lake systems and surrounding tectonic terrains to the Himalayan orogeny, the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and the reactivation of the Baikal Rift Zone including the evolution of Lake Baikal and the climatic regime of Asia; o the surface ruptures and deformation associated with great earthquakes in Mongolia to understand the process of intracontinental mountain building. ***

9530886威廉姆斯最近在蒙古共和国的政治变化使现代历史上的第一次有可能开始建立长期合作计划，以研究亚洲这个重要地区的各种重要科学问题。 为了开始这一过程，NSF要求P.I.S组织一个计划研讨会，供美国科学家探索和开发与蒙古科学家合作研究的机会。 研讨会的目的是为包括政府和非政府机构在内的更广泛的美国科学界提供一项协调的科学计划，以在蒙古共和国提供未来的大型和小规模科学研究。 研讨会要解决的几个重要问题包括：o在蒙古北部霍夫斯戈尔和达哈德湖中的生物学水平以及北蒙古北部塞伦加河的关系之间的关系，该关系与霍夫斯戈尔·诺尔（Hovsgol Nuur Nuur Nuur）与巴伊卡尔湖（Lake Baikal）联系起来。 o这些湖泊系统和周围的构造地形与喜马拉雅造山基因，藏族高原的提升以及贝加尔裂谷区的重新激活，包括贝加尔湖和亚洲气候状况，包括贝加尔裂谷区的重新激活； o与蒙古的大地震相关的地面破裂和变形，以了解室内山区建筑的过程。 ***
