Seismotectonics of Southeastern China and Burma: A Case Study in Three Dimensional Crustal Deformation Due to Continental Collision

在新墨西哥州立大学（James Ni博士）和亚利桑那大学（Terry Wallace博士）的联合提案中，我们请求为缅甸合带和东亚板内山带周围地区的详细地震构造研究提供资金。这项研究的目的是探求控制大陆变形的原理。我们特别感兴趣的是在被压缩的大陆地壳中找出发生在不同地壳水平上的应变程度；缅甸贝尼奥夫带的几何形状及其与东南亚板块的关系。

In this joint proposal between New Mexico State University (Dr. James Ni) and The University of Arizona (Dr. Terry Wallace) we request funds for a detailed seismotectonic study of the regions around the Burma Syntaxis and intraplate mountain belts in eastern Asia. It is in pursuit of the principles governing continental deformation that this study is aimed. We are particularly interested in finding out the extent of strain occuring at various crustal levels in the compressed continental crust; the geometry of the Burma Benioff zone and its relationship to the overriding southeast Asian plate.
