Angelo Coast Range Reserve

28 May, 09 AM - 02 Jun, 02 AM

As the Mendocino Triple Junction (MTJ) migrates north it is follwed to the south by topographic responses to its passing. This is known as dynamic topgraphy under Furlong's "Crustal Conveyor" model. Historic flow direction changes of the Eel and Russian Rivers, and significnat thinning of the crust in the wake of the southern edge of the Gorda Plate are attributed to dynamic topography and the passing of MTJ. My project aims to evaluate the basin bounding structures of Laytonville, Little Lake and Ukiah Valleys. There is a trend between the Little Lake and Ukiah basins which suggests their northwestern ends may be bound by a listric normal fault indicative of crustal thinning. Through a gravity survey I hope to determine if the northwestern structures of these valleys are actually faults. I WILL BE WORKING IN LAYTONVILLE AND NOT ON THE RESERVE!!! A roof is nice but CAMPING IS FINE. I need a plug for my gravimeter. Oh, and Humboldt is spelled with a d. ;)
