0817563 KhanThis award supports a US-Pakistan Workshop, "Indo-Asia Continental Collision", to be held in Islamabad, Pakistan, in January 2009. The U.S. organizer is Dr. Shuhab Khan and the foreign organizers are Dr. Khalid Mahmoud and Dr. Abdel S. Khan, both from the Center of Excellence in Mineralogy, University of Balochistan in Quetta, Pakistan and D. Zulfiqar Ahmed, Earth Sciences Department, Quaid-I-Azam University, Islamabad, in Pakistan. The award supports U.S. scientists to attend the workshop to coordinate research in Pakistan, the western margin of the Indo-Asia collision zone, where they will develop ways to test India-Asia plate collision models. Two days of discussion in Islamabad will be followed by several days in the field in the Trans-Indus Ranges (Islamabad, Kohat, Kalabagh) and in the Quetta area, dedicated to selection of detailed study sites and preliminary sampling for specialized geochemical and isotopic studies. One outcome of the workshop will be the development of collaborative proposals for submission to the National Science Foundation. The workshop will bring together geoscientists from the U.S., Pakistan and Europe and will explore how to combine remote sensing and tomographic studies with geochemical, isotopic, and geochronologic studies on ophiolites and arc volcanics. The group will develop tests of the hypothesis that ophiolites in Pakistan represent remnants of intra-oceanic forearc complexes, related to Indo-Asia collision. Scientists will plan how to use remote sensing, InSAR, GPS and field techniques in studies of the major strike slip faults in this region to assess intra-continental deformation mechanisms resulting from the collision. Intellectual Merit: A fundamental question facing 21st century geoscientists is how continents evolve. The approach to this broad tectonic question to be taken in the workshop is to integrate field, remote sensing, geochemical and isotopic age studies in Pakistan. This part of the western Himalayas is considered an example of the collision between continents involving an intervening island-arc. One focus of the workshop's research discussion will be on the timing, which is as yet poorly resolved, of ocean opening and closing in the critical area of north and western Pakistan. The workshop is an opportunity to define scientific objectives and launch a coherent collaborative approach. Integrated remote sensing, geochemical and isotopic work on ophiolites and arc rocks in Pakistan should provide significant constraints on our understanding of the timing and nature of the Himalayan collision and related deformational mechanisms. Broader Impact: The workshop will include graduate students and several early career faculty members, including females, from U.S. and Pakistan. Research programs to be finalized at the workshop will build on current collaborative links in geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and geoscience database development. The collaborative research project will also enhance understanding between US, European and Pakistani scientists.

0817563 khanthis奖于2009年1月在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡举行。巴基斯坦和D. Zulfiqar Ahmed，伊斯兰堡Quaid-I-Azam大学地球科学系，巴基斯坦。 该奖项支持美国科学家参加在印度亚洲碰撞区西部边缘巴基斯坦协调研究的研讨会，在那里他们将开发测试印度 - 亚洲板块碰撞模型的方法。在伊斯兰堡进行两天的讨论之后，将在跨印度范围（伊斯兰堡，科哈特，卡拉巴格）和奎达地区进行几天的讨论，专门用于选择详细的研究地点和初步抽样的专业地球化学和同位素研究。研讨会的一个结果将是制定合作提议提交给国家科学基金会。该研讨会将汇集来自美国，巴基斯坦和欧洲的地球科学家，并将探索如何将遥感和层析成像研究与地球化学，同位素和地球量学研究结合起来，对蛇绿岩和电弧火山学研究。该小组将制定关于巴基斯坦蛇绿岩代表与印度亚洲碰撞有关的环内前核心络合物残留物的假设的检验。科学家将计划如何在该区域的主要罢工滑移断层的研究中使用遥感，InsAR，GPS和现场技术，以评估碰撞导致的群内变形机制。智力优点：21世纪地球科学家面临的一个基本问题是大陆的发展方式。在研讨会中要采取的这个广泛的构造问题的方法是在巴基斯坦整合场，遥感，地球化学和同位素时代研究。喜马拉雅山西部的这一部分被认为是涉及中间岛屿的大洲碰撞的一个例子。研讨会的研究讨论的重点将是在巴基斯坦北部和西部关键领域的海洋开放和封闭的时机上，尚未解决的时间安排。研讨会是定义科学目标并启动连贯的协作方法的机会。在巴基斯坦，综合遥感，地球化学和同位素作品应对我们对喜马拉雅碰撞和相关变形机制的时机和性质的理解提供重大限制。更广泛的影响力：研讨会将包括来自美国和巴基斯坦的几位早期职业教师，包括女性在内的早期职业教师。 在研讨会上完成的研究计划将基于地质，地球物理学，地球化学和地球科学数据库开发的当前协作链接的基础。协作研究项目还将增强我们，欧洲和巴基斯坦科学家之间的理解。
