Investigation of the Seismicity, Structure, and Tectonics ofthe Tien Shan Region of Central Asia through the Analysis of Data from a Regional Seismic Network

该项目是与该研究所合作进行的地震研究 地球物理学在苏联 分析将使用 苏联天山地区大地震资料集 精确定位地震，确定方向， 断层上的应力，并决定地壳的结构， 上地幔 这个地区是一个最好的例子， 活动变形的陆内山地带， 类似于落基山脉中的Laramide orthodox的时间 晚白垩世期间，科罗拉多、犹他州和怀俄明州的山脉 白垩 地壳形变的测定 天山对地震的发生和地震 世界上其他地震区的危险，因此有直接的 国家地震减灾计划。

The project is a collaborative seismic study with the Institute of Physics of the Earth in the USSR. The analysis will use an extensive earthquake data set from the Tien Shan area of the USSR to precisely locate earthquakes, determine the orientation and stresses on faults, and determine the structure of the crust and upper mantle. This region is one of the best examples of an actively deforming intracontinental mountain belt and is analogous to the time of the Laramide orogeny in the Rocky mountains of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming during the Late Cretaceous. The determination of deformation of the crust in Tien Shan bears on the occurrence of earthquakes and seismic hazard in other seismic areas of the world and thus has direct application to the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program.
