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

9705620打印机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。这项对加利福尼亚州北海峡群岛的研究将通过对海洋地体的综合研究(通过测绘和测年)以及对圣克鲁斯群岛和阿纳卡帕群岛及其附近剖面的地震反射作图来帮助解决这一问题。这一结果将允许计算海峡岛逆冲的滑移率和滑移率，并有助于解决对海峡岛逆冲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.
