Investigation of 4-dimensional Fault Interactions at the Garlock-Southern Death Valley Fault Intersection

大陆地壳沿转换板块边界的变形涉及大尺度地壳碎片的相互作用，这些地壳碎片沿垂直轴和水平轴旋转，并以走滑、正断层和逆冲断层域的组合为界。这些类型交互的模型在块交互时，特别是在块的角落，会导致严重的空间和时间问题。该项目将从地表结构和浅层地震数据出发，对左东加洛克-右南死亡谷断层交会进行研究。增加对这个复杂交集的四维行为的了解，有望开发本例中所经历的变形序列，并为将这些信息扩展到其他地方的其他较少暴露的系统提供指导。

9304715 Serpa The deformation of continental crust along transform plate boundaries involves the interaction of large-scale crustal fragments that my rotate about both vertical and horizontal axes and are bounded by combinations of strike- slip, normal and thrust fault domains. Models for these types of interactions lead to significant space and time problems as the blocks interact, particularly at the corners of blocks. This project will examine the sinistral eastern Garlock-dextral southern Death Valley fault intersection from surface structures and shallow seismic data. Increased knowledge on the 4-dimensional behavior of this complex intersection are expected to develop the deformational sequence experienced in this experienced in this example and to provide a guide to extending this information to other, less well exposed, system elsewhere.
