This project will investigate the structural and earthquake                rupture characteristics of transtensional faulting in Yunnan                    Province, China and will compare and contrast the characteristics               of faulting in Yunnan with extensional faulting in the Basin-                   Range qnd Rocky Mountain Provinces of the United States.  The                   work will be done in conjunction with Chinese collegues from the                Geological Institute of the State Seismological Bureau, Beijing,                China.                                                                               The bjectives of this research are (1) to establish a                      regional kinematic model of tectonics in the Jinchuan--Eryuan                   extensional zone, (2) construct structural-mechanical models of                 selected fault zones, (3) interpret these models in terms of                    seismogenic rupture characteristics, and (4) compare the                        predicted behavior with that observed in the historical and                     paleo-seismological record.  The work in Yunnan will be                         integrated wtih similar studies of active fault zones in the                    Basin-Range and Rocky Moutain regions of the western U.S. in an                 effort to further understanding of the relations between                        geologic structure and crustal seismogenics in general.
