Intellectual MeritThe proposed work is to produce a high resolution image of the upper mantle velocity anomalies for a large area of the Gulf of California/Baja region. These images will define the extent of the subducted slab beneath the Baja California Peninsula and define where the mantle is upwelling beneath the Gulf of California. This region is of high interest to the MARGINS community and results from the study will be relevant to those studying the spatial and temporal variations in volcanism in the Gulf of California, and those trying to understand the tectonic history of Baja California.Broader ImpactsThe broader impacts include support of a graduate student and involvement of an undergraduate during the summer months. The results will be of interest to a broad community of geologists and geophysicists.

智力优点拟议的工作是为加利福尼亚湾/巴哈地区大面积的上地幔速度异常生成高分辨率图像。这些图像将确定下加利福尼亚半岛下方俯冲板片的范围，并确定加利福尼亚湾下方地幔上升的位置。 MARGINS 社区对该地区非常感兴趣，该研究的结果将与那些研究加利福尼亚湾火山活动时空变化的人们以及那些试图了解下加利福尼亚州构造历史的人们相关。 更广泛的影响更广泛的影响包括暑期期间研究生的支持和本科生的参与。 研究结果将引起广大地质学家和地球物理学家的兴趣。
