9725792 Silver This study will investigate how the distribution of strain rates across the Papua New Guinea (PNG) convergent margin evolves from oceanic subduction at the New Britain trench to the broader continental collision. Because the overall rates of motion are high, a geodetic network in PNG can be used to determine the extent to which deformation is distributed rather than focused on discrete faults and the degree to which the primary basal decollement is locked. Working together with scientists from Australia and PNG, the P.I.s will measure an expanded GPS network (48 sites) across the Huon Peninsula and Finisterre Range and across the Markham valley to the New Guinea Highlands, an area of approximately 350 x 350 km. They will occupy the expanded network during June, 1998, and again in June, 2000. Purchasing an additional instrument, an Ashtech Z-12, to leave in PNG between campaigns, will give scientists at UNITECH the opportunity to remeasure baselines between campaigns, an effort of great value for the study of interseismic and intraseismic slip. ***

9725792银 本研究将探讨如何分布的应变率在整个巴布亚新几内亚（PNG）会聚边缘的演变，从大洋俯冲在新不列颠海沟更广泛的大陆碰撞。 由于整体运动速率很高，巴布亚新几内亚的大地测量网络可以用来确定变形分布的程度，而不是集中在离散断层上，以及主要基底滑脱被锁定的程度。 P.I.s将与来自澳大利亚和巴布亚新几内亚的科学家合作，测量一个扩展的GPS网络（48个站点），该网络横跨Huon半岛和Finisterre山脉，并横跨Markham山谷到新几内亚高地，面积约为350 x 350公里。 他们将在1998年6月和2000年6月使用扩大后的网络。 购买额外的仪器Ashtech Z-12，在活动之间留在巴布亚新几内亚，将使UNITECH的科学家有机会在活动之间重新测量基线，这对于研究地震间和地震内滑动具有重要价值。 ***
