A Penrose Conference - "Kinematics and geodynamics of intraplate dextral shear in eastern California and western Nevada" - is being held in Mammoth Lakes, California in April of 2005. This conference provides a forum for experts from a number of geoscience disciplines to discuss the recent kinematic and geodynamic evolution of intraplate dextral shear in the Eastern California shear zone and Walker Lane belt. The shear zone is an intraplate boundary that accommodates a large portion of the modern-day motion between the North American and Pacific plates. This project is supporting participation of gradutate students and invited keynote speakers. Participants in this conference are discussing: (1) the geological and geophysical datasets that bear on understanding accommodation of intraplate deformation; (2) the integration of these different data sets into a spatially and kinematically coherent and comprehensive view of intraplate deformation through time; (3) the forces that drive deformation; (4) the uncertainties associated with interpretations; and (5) future research directions.

彭罗斯会议-“东加州和内华达州西部板内右旋剪切的运动学和地球动力学”-将于2005年4月在加州的猛犸湖举行。本次会议为来自多个地球科学学科的专家提供了一个论坛，讨论东加州剪切带和步行者莱恩带板内右旋剪切的近期运动学和地球动力学演化。剪切带是一个板内边界，容纳了北美和太平洋板块之间的大部分现代运动。这个项目支持研究生的参与，并邀请主题演讲人。与会者将讨论：（1）地质和地球物理数据集对了解板内变形的适应性有影响;（2）将这些不同的数据集整合成一个空间和运动学上连贯和全面的板内变形视图;（3）驱动变形的力量;（4）与解释有关的不确定性;（5）未来的研究方向。
