ERAS: Earth Accretionary Systems (in space and time), Proposal FOR INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCICPLINARY RESEARCH PROJECT OF THE INTERNATIONAL LITHOSPHERE PROGRAM, Principal Investigators include: Peter Cawood, Univ. Western Australia, Perth; Alfred Kröner, Mainz University, Germany; Brian Windley, University of Leicester,UK; Tim Kusky, St. Louis University, St. Louis, USA; Walter Mooney, USGS, Menlo Park, USA: Bor-ming Jahn, National University of Taiwan, Taipeh

An Expression of Interest by the US Geological Survey to Undertake Geological Mapping Investigations in Madagascar, proposal, in which I am the only university participant, includes a 38 million dollar budget in which the USGS and British Geological Survey are competing against the French BRGM, South African Survey, Chinese Geological Survey, and maybe others, to land large contracts from the World Bank Development of Madagascar Program. As the only university participant, I would participate in the mapping, and SLU would serve as the educational arm of the project in which we would bring (funded) students from Madagascar to our programs for the duration of the project (5 years). Update--The USGS/BGS team has received an award of 7 million dollars for this, but the contract is not yet signed. When that happens Kusky will be negotiating the SLU subcontract
