Margins: Collaborative Research: Seismic and Geologic Study of Gulf of California Rifting and Magmatism

为一项地震和结构地质学实验提供了资金，以描绘阿拉尔孔盆地、瓜伊马斯盆地和德尔芬盆地三个主要共轭边缘沿着地壳伸展和裂谷岩浆活动的几何形状和模式（研究从南到北的海底扩张到非扩张模式），以及瓦格纳盆地沿着东西向剖面图（研究深层低角度剥离断层）。需要解决的问题包括应变分配、裂谷岩浆活动的体积和侵位方式、伸展方式的轴向差异以及沉积作用对变形的影响。计划在今后三年进行一项综合的陆上和海上研究。

Funding is provided for a seismic and structural geology experiment to delineate the geometries and patterns of crustal extension and rift magmatism along three main conjugate margins across Alarcon, Guaymas and Delfin Basins (to study the south to north seafloor-spreading to non-spreading mode) and a E-W profile along Wagner Basin (to study the low-angle detachment fault at depth). The questions to be addressed include, strain partitioning, volumetric and emplacement style of rift magmatism, along-axis differences in extension style and the influence of sedimentation on deformation. An integrated land-based and at sea study is planned for the next three years.
