Relationships Between Neogene Volcanism, Basin Evolution, and Extensional Faulting: Death Valley - Panamint Valley Area, California

沉积盆地是最显著的结果之一 北美科迪勒拉山脉的新近纪大陆伸展， 然而，结构发展和 沉积学反应不太清楚。 该项目将 利用晚中新世-上新世抬升和切割 在帕纳明特谷和死亡谷暴露的伸展盆地 美国加州东南部地区。 这项工作将包括绘制地图， 化学分析、沉积学和年代测定技术， 建立构造历史和相关的沉积学 反应 结果将为主题提供一个额外的维度 伸展构造

Sedimentary basins are among the most conspicuous results of Neogene continental extension in the North American Cordillera, however, the connection between structural development and sedimentologic response is less than clear. This project will take advantage of an uplifted and dissected late Miocene-Pliocene extensional basin exposed in the Panamint Valley and Death Valley area of southeastern California. The work will involve mapping, chemical analysis, sedimentology and age dating techniques to establish the structural history and associated sedimentologic response. Results will provide an added dimension to the subject of extensional tectonics.
