9418682 Merritts This project will study the active tectonics of the Mendocino triple junction in northern California. Many of the faults in this part of coastal California are poorly documented and understood, and this study will map them, conduct geodetic surveying, analyse the Quaternary deformation and analyse seismicity patterns. Results from the fieldwork will be incorporated into computer models that will test competing hypotheses about the tectonics of this region. The results will further our understanding of plate tectonic processes and earthquake hazards in actively deforming regions of the earth s crust.

9418682 Merritts 该项目将研究加利福尼亚州北部门多西诺三重交界处的活跃构造。 加州沿海地区的许多断层都缺乏记录和了解，这项研究将绘制断层图、进行大地测量、分析第四纪变形并分析地震活动模式。 实地工作的结果将被纳入计算机模型中，以测试有关该地区构造的相互竞争的假设。 研究结果将进一步加深我们对地壳活跃变形区域的板块构造过程和地震危害的理解。
