COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Testing Models of Fault-Related Folding, Northern Channel Islands, California

小行星9705620 构造地质学的一个主要问题是解决地下断层对地表褶皱的作用。 对加利福尼亚州北海峡群岛的这项研究将有助于通过对海洋生物的综合研究（通过绘图和年龄测定）以及对圣克鲁斯和阿纳卡帕群岛及其附近的剖面进行地震反射绘图来解决这个问题。 结果将允许计算海峡岛逆冲断层的滑动和滑动率，并帮助解决对海峡岛逆冲断层的活动和后果的不同解释。

9705620 Pinter A major problem of structural geology is the resolution of the role of faulting in the subsurface to folding at the surface. This study of the North Channel Islands, CA will help address this question by an integrated study of marine terranes, (by mapping and age dating), and of seismic reflection mapping of profiles both in and near Santa Cruz and Anacapa Islands. The results will allow the calculation of slip and slip rates on the Channel Island Thrust, and help resolve the disparate interpretations of the activity and consequences of the Channel Island Thrust.
