9418682 Bodin This project will study the active tectonics of the Mendocino triple junction in northern California. Many of the faults in this part of coastal California are poorly documented and understood, and this study will map them, conduct geodetic surveying, analyse the Quaternary deformation and analyse seismicity patterns. Results from the fieldwork will be incorporated into computer models that will test competing hypotheses about the tectonics of this region. The results will further our understanding of plate tectonic processes and earthquake hazards in actively deforming regions of the earth s crust.

小行星9418682 本项目将研究加州北方的门多西诺三联点的活动构造。 加州沿海地区的许多断层都没有得到充分的记录和了解，这项研究将绘制它们的地图，进行大地测量，分析第四纪变形和分析地震活动模式。 实地考察的结果将被纳入计算机模型，以测试有关该地区构造的相互竞争的假设。 这一结果将进一步加深我们对地壳活动区板块构造过程和地震危险性的认识。
