9314751 Doser This award will support the travel of Dr. Diane Doser from the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Texas at El Paso to spend one month each year over the next two years at the New Zealand Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences in Wellington conducting cooperative research with Dr. Terry H. Webb on seismic studies of large earthquakes in New Zealand. New Zealand is an active seismic region located along the plate boundary between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. Since 1915, 16 earthquakes of magnitude 6.5 have occurred within the country. This project will examine the faulting process of 10 historic earthquakes using seismogram modeling techniques. These models will be compared to geological and geophysical features of the existing fault zones to better determine fault behavior, slip rates, and regional variations in earthquake processes increasing an understanding of deformational processes along complicated plate margins like New Zealand and western North America. The research is a collaborative effort between Dr. Doser, an expert in seismological studies of historic earthquakes, and Dr. Webb who has extensive knowledge of the recent seismicity of New Zealand.

该奖项将资助德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校地质科学系的Diane Doser博士，在未来两年内，每年在惠灵顿的新西兰地质与核科学研究所进行一个月的合作研究，与Terry H. Webb博士一起进行新西兰大地震的地震研究。新西兰是一个活跃的地震带，位于太平洋和澳大利亚构造板块之间的板块边界上。自1915年以来，该国发生了16次6.5级地震。该项目将使用地震记录建模技术研究10次历史地震的断层过程。这些模型将与现有断裂带的地质和地球物理特征进行比较，以更好地确定断层行为、滑动速率和地震过程中的区域变化，从而增加对新西兰和北美西部等复杂板块边缘变形过程的理解。Doser博士是历史地震的地震学研究专家，Webb博士对新西兰最近的地震活动有着广泛的了解。
