COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Testing Models of Fault-Related Folding, Northern Channel Islands, California

9706258索林构造地质学的一个主要问题是确定地下断裂对地表褶皱的作用。对加利福尼亚州北海峡群岛的研究将通过对海洋地形的综合研究（通过测绘和年龄测定）以及对圣克鲁斯和阿纳卡帕群岛及其附近剖面的地震反射测绘来帮助解决这个问题。这些结果将有助于计算海峡岛逆冲断层的滑动和滑动速率，并有助于解决对海峡岛逆冲断层活动和后果的不同解释。

9706258 Sorlien A major problem of structural geology is the resolution of the role of faulting in the subsurface to folding at the surface. This study of the North Channel Islands, CA will help address this question by an integrated study of marine terranes, (by mapping and age dating), and of seismic reflection mapping of profiles both in and near Santa Cruz and Anacapa Islands. The results will allow the calculation of slip and slip rates on the Channel Island Thrust, and help resolve the disparate interpretations of the activity and consequences of the Channel Island Thrust.
