The western Banda arc is a natural laboratory where plate collision is in progress. This study will construct a series of balanced cross-sections across the orogen using newly available map and geophysical data, and field data to be acquired during the project. Because the Banda orogen is a good example of oblique collisional processes, it offers an opportunity to analyze the sections in 3D space plus time. The results will help resolve existing hypotheses for the evolution of the Banda orogen and will be applicable to collisional orogenic processes in general.

西班达弧区是板块碰撞进行的天然实验室。这项研究将利用新获得的地图和地球物理数据，以及项目期间将获得的现场数据，构建一系列横跨造山带的平衡横断面。由于班达造山带是斜向碰撞过程的一个很好的例子，它提供了一个在3D空间和时间中分析剖面的机会。这些结果将有助于解决现有的关于班达造山带演化的假说，并将普遍适用于碰撞造山过程。
