Reflectivity Structure Below the San Fernando Valley from Northridge Aftershock Recordings

小行星9405534 这项研究将测试新生代伸展模式的南部大盆地的内华达州与大型和小型，多学科的地球物理调查。 地球物理方法将勾勒出小的冲积盆地和湖盆的发展，这可以限制区域构造活动的时间和性质。 加州死亡谷以东盆地的地层学可以诊断伸展的方式和时间。 受速度结构的制约，本研究将检验不同新生代构造模式所提出的地球物理和沉积特征。 此外，这项研究将提供地球物理领域的经验，本科生和研究生地质科学类，加强在内华达州，里诺和宾夕法尼亚州立大学的几个学位课程。 ***

9405534 Louie This research will test Cenozoic extension models for the southern Great Basin of Nevada with large- and small-scale, multidisciplinary geophysical investigations. Geophysical methods will outline the development of small alluvial and lacustrine basins, which can constrain the timing and nature of regional tectonic activity. The stratigraphy of basins east of Death Valley, California, may be diagnostic of the mode and timing of extension. Constrained by velocity structure, this research will test the geophysical and sedimentary features proposed by differing Cenozoic tectonic models. In addition, this research will provide geophysical field experience to undergraduate and graduate geological sciences classes, enhancing several degree programs at the University of Nevada, Reno, and Pennsylvania State University. ***
