This three-year award for U.S.-France cooperative research in geophysics involves the research groups of W. Roger Buck at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, and Alexei Poliakov at the University of Montpellier II in Montpellier, France. The objective of their research is to investigate three related areas in fault generation in mid-ocean ridges and rifts: (1) general models of faulting; (2) distribution of faults in rift environments; and (3) development and testing of models of low-angle normal fault development. The project takes advantage of French expertise in numerical modeling of continental extension and faulting. It will advance understanding of the orientation and distribution of faults.

这项为期三年的美法地球物理学合作研究奖涉及哥伦比亚大学拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球观测站的 W. Roger Buck 和法国蒙彼利埃第二大学的 Alexei Poliakov 的研究小组。 他们研究的目的是调查洋中脊和裂谷断层生成的三个相关领域：（1）断层作用的一般模型； (2)裂谷环境断层分布； (3)低角度正断层发育模型的开发和测试。 该项目利用了法国在大陆伸展和断层数值模拟方面的专业知识。 它将促进对断层方向和分布的理解。
