0117242 Burbank0003356 FisherModeling of geologic features is considerably assisted by an extensive data set that quantifies an adequate number of descriptive parameters of the feature in question. Such studies on normal faults have prompted a significant step forward in understanding extensional tectonics, but no such population studies exist for thrust faults, which are common features in convergent tectonic settings. This project will generate an extensive data set quantifying geometric parameters, displacement length scaling, population statistics, displacement transfer and similar items. It is expected that this research will provide a robust statistical foundation for description of the geometric properties of thrust faults, and thus such research should under pin a significantly improved understanding of thrust faults and convergent tectonics.

0117242 Burbank0003356 Fisher 地质特征建模得到了广泛的数据集的极大帮助，这些数据集量化了相关特征的足够数量的描述性参数。 对正断层的此类研究推动了对伸展构造的理解迈出了重要的一步，但对于逆冲断层却没有这样的总体研究，而逆冲断层是聚合构造环境中的常见特征。 该项目将生成一个广泛的数据集，量化几何参数、位移长度缩放、人口统计、位移转移和类似项目。 预计这项研究将为描述逆冲断层的几何特性提供坚实的统计基础，因此此类研究应能显着提高对逆冲断层和汇聚构造的认识。
