This project is an investigation of the total amount, timing, and history of motion across diffuse plate boundaries in the Indian Ocean. The project will analyze 20 distinct magnetic anomalies to assess the motion between the Capricorn and Australian plates, and anomalies 5, 6, and 13 to measure the motion of the Nubian plate relative to the Samalia plate. The work will enhance knowledge of the amount, rate, timing, and distribution of deformation of oceanic lithosphere, of the limits to plate rigidity, and of the response of lithosphere in the Indian Ocean to high stresses.

这个项目是对印度洋扩散板块边界运动的总量、时间和历史的调查。该项目将分析20个不同的磁异常，以评估摩羯座板块和澳大利亚板块之间的运动，并分析异常5、6和13，以测量努比亚板块相对于萨马利亚板块的运动。这项工作将加强对海洋岩石圈变形的数量、速率、时间和分布、板块刚性的限制以及印度洋岩石圈对高应力的响应的认识。
