This award will support collaborative research between Dr. John                 Sclater, Institute for Geophysics, University of Texas at Austin                and Dr. Roland Schlich, Institut de Physique du Globe, Strasbourg,              France.  The researchers propose a joint project to compile and                 interpret topographic, magnetic, deflection-of-the-vertical and                 gravity data in the Indian Ocean and contiguous Southern Ocean, and             to bring such data to bear on geological and geophysical problems               already identified in this region.  These data can be used, where               coverage is adequate, to produce high resolution plate                          reconstructions.  Where coverage is less adequate but broad based,              this data can still be used to determine a generalized tectonic                 history of an ocean.                                                                                                                                            More than fifty percent of all magnetic anomaly and depth data                  collected in the Indian Ocean in the past 15 years has been                     recovered from non-U.S. research vessels.  No attempt as yet has                been made to compile this data on an international basis or to                  interpret it collectively.  The principal investigators of this                 proposal request funding to cover the costs of collaboration with               the Institut de Physique du Globe de Strasbourg, which holds one                third of the magnetic and bathymetric data available on the Indian              Ocean.  This support will be devoted to coordinating the U.S. and               French efforts in homogenizing and compiling their respective data              sets.  The compilations of all available magnetic anomaly,                      bathymetric and geoid data collected from satellites will be used               to address the specific scientific problems that have been                      identified.  In addition, tectonic histories and high resolution                reconstructions deduced from these compilations will be of                      particular value to the Ocean Drilling Program in the Indian Ocean.
