COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Active Uplift in the San Francisco Bay Area, California

9506465米勒这个项目将描述与旧金山湾区圣安德烈亚斯转换断层系统相关的重要垂直运动。目前对旧金山湾区与断层相关的缩短和抬升幅度的估计最高可达一个数量级。裂变径迹、地貌、大地测量和断层系统模拟分析的综合研究将量化近期强烈的收缩和隆升。这些数据将用于评估沿断层的强烈垂直运动区的重要性，并将用于利用从裂变径迹数据和测量的历史隆起模式得出的定量隆起幅度来校准隆起和断层运动的定性地貌指标。这一结果将对世界上所有构造活跃的地区都具有重要意义。

9506465 Miller This project will characterize the important vertical motions associated with the San Andreas transform fault system in the San Francisco Bay area. Current estimates of the amount of shortening and uplift associated with the fault in the San Francisco Bay area vary by up to an order of magnitude. An integrated study of fission track, geomorphic, geodetic and fault system modeling analysis will quantify the intense recent contraction and uplift. The data will be used to assess the importance of zones of intense vertical motions along faults and will be used to calibrate qualitative geomorphic indicators of uplift and fault movement with quantitative uplift magnitudes derived from fission track data and measured historic uplift patterns. The results will be of importance to all tectonically active regions of the world.
