COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Tectonics and Paleomagnetism of Kamachatka Peninsula Composite Terranes, Northeastern Russia

9706391个克培津斯卡古地磁资料已被证明是解释沿几个会聚的大陆边缘的地体迁移和吸积的关键，阿拉斯加是一个明显的例子。现有资料表明，俄罗斯堪察加半岛也可能是一所吸积的异地地体学院，但地质和古地磁数据库并不广泛，该地区在后勤方面也存在困难。该项目将试图将古地磁和地质数据建立在更坚实的基础上，以便能够建立和测试与地体侵位有关的板块运动学模型。这些结果将增加对堪察加地体的了解，并为了解北太平洋地体的位移历史提供基础。

9706391 Kepezhinskas Paleomagnetic data has proven key to the interpretation of terrane migration and accretion along several convergent continental margins, with Alaska being as notable example. Existing data suggests that the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia may also be a college of accreted allochthonous terranes, but the geologic and paleomagnetic data base is not extensive, and the area is difficult logistically. This project will attempt to place the paleomagnetic and geologic data on a firmer base so that plate kinematic models related to terrane emplacement can be formulated and tested. Results will increase knowledge about terranes in Kamchatka and provide the basis for understanding displacement histories of northern Pacific terranes.
