Three-Dimensional Reconstruction and Rates of Actual Fold Growth and Fold Propagations in Near-Surface Conditions

9706269伯班克褶皱是收缩造山带的基本构造，但由于褶皱的时间和增量是通常不可能明确确定的参数，因此很难确定造山带褶皱发育的运动学历史。需要这些信息来可靠地重建造山带的发育过程。本项目将利用西班牙东北部的一组褶皱来解决这个问题，在褶皱放大期间，沉积导致地层沉积，这样每个生长地层记录了不同的褶皱量。通过逐级展开锁定生长层，并通过各种手段获得年龄控制。这些褶皱的顺序发育可以被构建，成功的结果将有助于理解褶皱在造山带发育中的作用。

9706269 Burbank Folds are fundamental structures of contractional orogens, but because timing and increments of folding are parameters that commonly are not possible to determine unambiguously, the kinematic history of fold development in a orogen is difficult to establish. This information is needed to make reliable reconstructions of how orogens develop. This project will attack this problem by using a set of folds in NE Spain where deposition caused strata to be deposited during fold amplification, such that each growth strata recorded different amounts of folding. By step-wise unfolding keyed to the growth strata, and obtaining age control by various means. The sequential development of these folds can be constructed, successful results should help understand the role of folds in developing orogens.
