Convergent plate boundaries are one of the earth's most tectonically            active regions and they have long been recognized as zones where                continental margin or ocean floor sediments can be subducted to great           depths.  However much less has been learned about the processes                 responsible for uplift of these sediments in accretionary prism and             continental collision zones.  This project will test two end-member             models concerning the mechanics of uplifting accretionary prisms:  1)           underplating, where the accretionary prism provides a rigid backstop for        the offscraped sediments or 2) penetrative deformation within the prism         as sediments are accreted at the toe.  These models will be tested by           using the post-accretion strain and uplift history of the Kodiak                accretionary complex, Kodiak Island, Alaska.  Results will help clarify         how uplift is accomplished in accretionary prisms.
