The PIs will undertake a three-year program of coupled experimental and theoretical studies of the formation of continental-margin stratal patterns. The program will use the new experimental basin with a subsiding floor where baseline, sediment supply and subsidence rates can be controlled. The experiments will focus on linkages among dynamic sedimentary environments and the relation between morphodynamics and stratigraphy. The studies will test some of the existing models of strata formation. Theoretical modeling of the continental margin's response to controlling factors and the comparison of numerical models with the experimental results will form a basis for refining both types of data.

PI将进行三年的耦合实验和理论研究计划，以实现大陆 - 边缘层模式的形成。该计划将使用新的实验盆地和一个基线，沉积物供应和沉降率的底层使用。这些实验将集中于动态沉积环境之间的联系以及形态动力学和地层之间的关系。研究将测试一些现有的地层形成模型。大陆边缘对控制因素的响应以及数值模型与实验结果的比较的理论模型将构成精炼两种数据的基础。
