Structural Analysis of Laramide Strike-Slip Faulting Along the Eastern Margin of the Kaibab Uplift, Colorado Plateau

9706028戴维斯在构造学中一个关键的悬而未决的问题是理解板内区域是如何变形的。科罗拉多高原构造的起源，特别是再活动断层上的褶皱，是解决这类板内变形地区这一问题的主要途径。戴维斯的这项研究旨在确定新发现的走滑断裂以及正断层在东凯巴布断褶系演化中的作用。在这项研究中，戴维斯将详细绘制地图，并对系统选定的部分进行详细的结构分析，以便沿走向和向下倾角评估斜滑系统内的结构和应变兼容性问题。这项研究的结果将涉及基底断裂与褶皱的关系，以及断裂带在力学上不均匀的地层序列中传播的运动学和力学。

9706028 Davis A critical unresolved problem in tectonics is in understanding how intraplate regions deform. The origin of Colorado Plateau structures, especially folds over reactivated faults, is a primary avenue of approach to this problem in this type area of intraplate deformation. This study of Davis is aimed at identifying the role of the newly discovered strike-slip faulting as well as normal faulting in the evolution of the East Kaibab fault-fold system. In this study, Davis will map in detail and make detailed structural analysis of selected portions of the system such that issues of structural and strain compatibility within an oblique-slip system to be evaluated along strike and down dip. The results of this study will bear on the relationships of basement faulting to folding, and of the kinematics and mechanics of the propagation of a fault zone through a mechanically inhomogeneous stratigraphic sequence.
