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.

知识分子优点拟议的工作是为加利福尼亚/巴哈地区大区域的大区域生成上地幔速度异常的高分辨率图像。这些图像将定义加利福尼亚州巴亚半岛下方的俯冲平板的范围，并定义地幔在加利福尼亚海湾下方上升的位置。 该地区对利润率社区具有很高的兴趣，该研究的结果将与研究加利福尼亚湾火山的空间和时间变化的人有关，那些试图了解加利福尼亚州巴哈的构造历史的人。BROADERS的影响更广泛的影响包括对夏季的研究生和夏季少年的参与。 广泛的地质学家和地球物理学家社区将感兴趣的结果。
