The emplacement of large thrust sheets remains as one the most poorly understood phenomena of tectonics. The proposed study will examine the Willard thrust at spectacular exposures near Logan, Utah, where one is offered the rare opportunity to view the three dimensional character of an intact thrust sheet. Studies will include detailed mapping, laboratory strain measurement, computer modeling and microstructural analysis. Results of this study will provide important constraints with which to test the kinematic and mechanical aspects of thrust sheet emplacement.

大型逆冲板的侵位仍然是构造学中最不为人所知的现象之一。拟议的研究将在犹他州洛根附近的壮观暴露处检查威拉德推力，在那里人们有难得的机会看到一个完整的推力片的三维特征。研究将包括详细的绘图，实验室应变测量，计算机建模和微观结构分析。这项研究的结果将提供重要的约束与测试的运动学和力学方面的推力板就位。
