9980433 Crider9980427 OwenExtensional fault systems are a brittle response to regional extensional stresses and are influenced by many parameters that affect rates of movements, interactions between fault segments and evolution of secondary structures. This project is aimed at developing a detailed picture of the development of faults across an entire active normal-fault system, and will use the Canyonlands graben system in southeastern Utah as a natural laboratory. The work will use interferometric synthetic aperture radar and Global Positioning system techniques to describe vertical and horizontal displacements in this active system. Results should aid and advance understanding of the development of extensional fault systems.

张拉断裂系统是对区域张拉应力的脆性响应，并受到许多参数的影响，这些参数影响着运动速率、断层段之间的相互作用和次级构造的演化。该项目旨在绘制整个活动正断层系统断层发育的详细图像，并将使用犹他州东南部的峡谷地堑系统作为自然实验室。这项工作将使用干涉合成孔径雷达和全球定位系统技术来描述该主动系统中的垂直和水平位移。研究结果应有助于并促进对伸展断裂系统发育的理解。
