9458405 Bercovici Unifying the theories of plate tectonics and mantle dynamics is a major goal in geodynamics. This goal is impeded by the fact that plate tectonics treats plate margins as discontinuous, while mantle-flow models employ continuum mechanics. This research project proposes to develop a continuum model of plate tectonics that incorporates finite plate-margin widths and intraplate deformation. Significant undergraduate and graduate teaching will be incorporated in the career development plan.

小行星9458405 统一板块构造理论和地幔动力学理论是地球动力学的一个重要目标。 这一目标受到板块构造学将板块边缘视为不连续的事实的阻碍，而地幔流模型则采用连续介质力学。 本研究计画拟发展一个板块构造的连续统模式，将有限的板块边缘宽度与板块内变形结合起来。 重要的本科和研究生教学将纳入职业发展计划。
