Kinematics Within the Retro-Wedge of an Active Arc-Continent Collision, Taiwan

小行星9628352 岛弧与大陆边碰撞的运动学历史在解释古代变形的尝试中具有相当重要的意义。 台湾是亚洲边缘的一个活动的斜向碰撞岛弧，因此提供了一个空间模拟的碰撞幕期间发展的运动学响应序列。 该项目将研究一系列从北到南穿越 台湾，分别代表晚期和早期阶段，运动学指标和织物将进行研究，并将结果纳入测试楔力学，运动学和热结构，已提出了台湾的一些理论模型。 研究结果对其它斜向造山带具有一定的借鉴意义。

9628352 Fisher The kinematic history of collisions between island arcs and continental margins is of considerable importance in attempts to interpret ancient deformation. Taiwan is an active obliquely colliding island arc onto the asian margin, and therefore offers a spatial analog for the sequence of kinematic responses developed during a collisional episode. This project will study a series of transects from north to south across the retrowedge of Taiwan that represents late and early stages respectively, kinematic indicators and fabrics will be studied and results incorporated in testing a number of theoretical models for wedge mechanics, kinematics and thermal structures that have been proposed for Taiwan. Results are expected to be applicable to other oblique orogenic belts.
