Reflectivity Structure Below the San Fernando Valley from Northridge Aftershock Recordings

Louie：这项研究将通过大规模和小规模的多学科地球物理调查来测试内华达大盆地南部的新生代伸展模型。地球物理方法将勾勒出小型冲积湖盆的发育，这可以限制区域构造活动的时间和性质。加利福尼亚死亡谷以东盆地的地层学可以用来诊断伸展的方式和时间。在速度结构的约束下，本研究将检验不同新生代构造模型所提出的地球物理和沉积特征。此外，这项研究将为本科生和研究生地质科学课程提供地球物理实地经验，加强内华达大学里诺分校和宾夕法尼亚州立大学的几个学位课程。＊＊＊

9405534 Louie This research will test Cenozoic extension models for the southern Great Basin of Nevada with large- and small-scale, multidisciplinary geophysical investigations. Geophysical methods will outline the development of small alluvial and lacustrine basins, which can constrain the timing and nature of regional tectonic activity. The stratigraphy of basins east of Death Valley, California, may be diagnostic of the mode and timing of extension. Constrained by velocity structure, this research will test the geophysical and sedimentary features proposed by differing Cenozoic tectonic models. In addition, this research will provide geophysical field experience to undergraduate and graduate geological sciences classes, enhancing several degree programs at the University of Nevada, Reno, and Pennsylvania State University. ***
