9903021 Burchfiel Study of active and young deformation in the southern Balkans is of particular interest because this region contains the northernmost extent of the Aegean extensional domain and is exposed on land unlike most of the remainder of the Aegean extensional system. It provides an example of extension in the hanging wall of a zone of coeval subduction along the Hellenic subduction boundary. This project continues research in this region and combines geologic and geophysical studies with space geodetic measurments to establish the Eocent to Recent extensional tectonic evolution of this sector of the Alpine orogeny. Results ultimately will lead to a three-dimensional geodynamic model for the southern Balkan tectonic system and additional insight into the dynamic process that drives these systems generally.

9903021 Burchfiel 对巴尔干半岛南部活跃和年轻变形的研究特别令人感兴趣，因为该地区包含爱琴海伸展域的最北范围，并且与爱琴海伸展系统的大部分其余部分不同，暴露在陆地上。 它提供了一个沿希腊俯冲边界的同时代俯冲带上盘延伸的例子。 该项目继续对该地区进行研究，并将地质和地球物理研究与空间大地测量相结合，以确定阿尔卑斯造山带这一区域的始中至近期伸展构造演化。 结果最终将产生巴尔干南部构造系统的三维地球动力学模型，并进一步深入了解驱动这些系统的动态过程。
