9406029 Wells The Death Valley region is the most extended crustal section in the western Basin and Range Province. Numerous studies have led to two models with varying predictions for the slip rates along the strike-slip faults. This project will employ tectonic land forum techniques and new isotopic surface dating methods to elucidate the rate and style of deformation of the Black Mountains terrane in Death Valley, a parameter difficult to determine by other means. Results will help discriminate between the competing models and should also make a significant contribution to the application of isotope geochemical techniques to geomorphology problems

9406029 Wells死亡谷地区是西部盆地和山脉省最延伸的地壳区。 许多研究导致了两个模型，对沿着滑移断层的滑动速率进行了不同的预测。 该项目将采用构造土地论坛技术和新的同位素表面约会方法来阐明死亡谷中黑山地形的变形的速度和风格，这是一个难以通过其他方式确定的参数。 结果将有助于区分竞争模型，还应为同位素地球化学技术的应用做出重大贡献
