Western North and South America are regions with mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes that result from plate tectonic processes occurring immediately offshore. Here, oceanic plates descend into the Earth below the continent, a process known as subduction. My research aims to understand the relationship between subduction, the dynamics of the Earth's interior and the geology that is observed at the Earth's surface. The proposed research focuses on two aspects of the geology of western North and South America:

北美西部和南美是山脉、地震和火山的地区，这些都是近海板块构造过程的结果。 在这里，海洋板块下降到大陆下方的地球，这一过程被称为俯冲。 我的研究旨在了解俯冲，地球内部的动力学和在地球表面观察到的地质学之间的关系。 拟议的研究重点是南北美洲西部地质的两个方面：
