Magnetic and gravity modelling was completed along two E-W transects offshore central Oregon. These models indicate that the backstop-forming western edge of the Siletz terrane has a seaward dip of approximately 40° to 4 ...

Extensive new trackline coverage of the Chile Trench between 23°S and 34°S, including more than 60 bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles across the trench axis, allows a much more detailed study of the tectonics ...

Sediment samples were collected from eight sampling sites along the Yaquina Estuary, Oregon from Yaquina Bay to Elk City near the head of the estuary. Samples were collected in November 1973, February 1974, May 1974 a ...

Changes in sea level during the past 20,000 years are recorded in sediments taken from the continental shelf off the Rogue River, Oregon. Sea level has risen approximately 125 m. during the Holocene (Curray, 1965) and ...

Detailed bathymetric survey data were collected along the Peruvian continental margin and were compiled by the author and other investigators to construct a new bathymetric map for the area between 6° to 18°S latitude ...

Cores taken from the ridge areas of the Gorda-Juan de Fuca plate have a sedimentation rate that is appropriate for the study of late Quaternary stratigraphy. An analysis of the clay and silt mineralogy of the cores us ...

Surveyor Deep-Sea Channel extends for approximately 700 km over the northern Alaskan Abyssal Plain. It originates near the base of the continental slope opposite Dry Bay and Alsek Strath and terminates in the Aleutian ...
