Geologic and Geophysical Evaluation of a New Mechanistic Model for the Opening of the Gulf of Mexico

主要研究人员将评估墨西哥湾运动演化的边缘驱动模型。对墨西哥湾周边磁边缘异常的二维和三维分析将确定磁边界的性质和分布，这些磁边界可能代表北美和尤卡坦半岛共轭地壳边界的同步和历时部分。该产品将是墨西哥湾开放的定量，连续的运动学解决方案。＊＊＊

9419472 Schouten The principal investigators will evaluate the edge-driven model for the kinematic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico. Two- dimensional and three-dimensional analysis of magnetic edge anomalies around the Gulf rim will determine the nature and distribution of magnetic boundaries that may represent synchronous and diachronous parts of conjugate crustal boundaries of North America and Yucatan. The produce will be a quantitative, continuous kinematic solution for the opening of the Gulf of Mexico. ***
