Neogene Tectonic, Climatic and Depositional Evolution of theEastern Basin and Range: Seismic, Tectonic and Model Analyses of the Great Salt Lake, UT

由伸展作用形成的大陆盆地是复杂的， 受正断层作用的影响， 特点和当地气候条件。 该项目将研究 详细介绍了该地区的沉积和构造演化 盆山东缘大盐晚期盆地 省 这项工作将整合地震，地层和 三维盆地沉积古生态数据 建模，以产生详细的解释， 盆地发育于晚第三纪。 结果将添加到 了解构造、气候和 大陆伸展环境下的沉积。

Continental basins resulting from extension are complex, being influenced by the style of normal faulting, reactivation of older features and local climatic conditions. This project will examine in some detail the depositional and structural evolution of the Great Salt Late Basin at the eastern edge of the Basin and Range Province. The work will integrate seismic, stratigraphic and paleoecologic data with three-dimensional basin depositional modeling in order to produce a detailed interpretation of how this basin developed through the Neogene. Results will add to the understanding of the interaction of tectonics, climate and deposition in a continental extensional environment.
