9903021 Burchfiel Study of active and young deformation in the southern Balkans is of particular interest because this region contains the northernmost extent of the Aegean extensional domain and is exposed on land unlike most of the remainder of the Aegean extensional system. It provides an example of extension in the hanging wall of a zone of coeval subduction along the Hellenic subduction boundary. This project continues research in this region and combines geologic and geophysical studies with space geodetic measurments to establish the Eocent to Recent extensional tectonic evolution of this sector of the Alpine orogeny. Results ultimately will lead to a three-dimensional geodynamic model for the southern Balkan tectonic system and additional insight into the dynamic process that drives these systems generally.

9903021 Burchfiel对巴尔干半岛南部活动和年轻变形的研究特别令人感兴趣，因为该地区包含爱琴海伸展域的最北端，并且与爱琴海伸展系统的其余部分不同，该地区暴露在陆地上。 它提供了一个沿希腊俯冲边界沿着同时代俯冲带上盘伸展的例子。 该项目继续在这一地区进行研究，并将地质和地球物理研究与空间大地测量相结合，以确定阿尔卑斯山脉这一部分从始新世到近代的伸展构造演化。 结果最终将导致一个三维地球动力学模型的南部巴尔干半岛的构造系统和额外的洞察动力学过程，驱动这些系统一般。
