Quantitative Synthesis of Structural, Paleomagnetic and Stress Data from North America since 85 Ma

9316169 Bird该项目将利用断层、位移、旋转和应力方向的大型数据库，进一步开发85ma以来北美演化的改进模型。这些数据将被简化为带有附加参考资料、不确定性和数字化地图位置的表格，并将成为许多有限元模型的基础，从而约束许多重要变量，如岩石圈最合适流变学的选择和板块环的准确闭合，以模拟新近纪期间圣安德烈亚斯转换的逐渐形成。研究结果将为北美洲新生代的发育提供详细的正演模型。

9316169 Bird This project will utilize a large data base on faults, displacements, rotations and stress directions for further developing improved models for the evolution of North America since 85 Ma. These data will be reduced to tables with attached references, uncertainties and digitised map locations and will be the basis for a number of finite elements models, so as to constrain a number of important variables such as selection of the most appropriate rheology for the lithosphere and the accurate closure of the plate loop to model the gradual formation of the San Andreas transform during the Neogene. Results will provide a detailed forward model of the development of North America during the Cenozoic.
