Quaternary Stratigraphic and Geomorphic Evidence for Crustal Extension and Uplift in the Death Valley Region: Black Mountains Terrane, California

小威尔斯9406029 死亡谷地区是西部盆岭省最延伸的地壳部分。 大量的研究导致了两种模型，它们对沿着走滑断层的滑动速率有不同的预测。 该项目将采用大地构造论坛技术和新的同位素表面测年方法，以阐明死亡谷黑山山脉变形的速率和方式，这是一个难以用其他手段确定的参数。 结果将有助于区分竞争模式，也应该作出重大贡献的应用同位素地球化学技术的地貌问题

9406029 Wells The Death Valley region is the most extended crustal section in the western Basin and Range Province. Numerous studies have led to two models with varying predictions for the slip rates along the strike-slip faults. This project will employ tectonic land forum techniques and new isotopic surface dating methods to elucidate the rate and style of deformation of the Black Mountains terrane in Death Valley, a parameter difficult to determine by other means. Results will help discriminate between the competing models and should also make a significant contribution to the application of isotope geochemical techniques to geomorphology problems
