  • Microseismicity on the Gorda Ridge

    Creator:
    Solano-Borrego, Ariel E.
    Abstract:
    The seismicity at the northern section of the Gorda Ridge has been studied with Ocean Bottom Seismographs. Nearly one hundred earthquakes were located with RMS travel time residuals less than 0.5 seconds. Most of these events lie within or near the array and they are probably associated with the dynamics...

  • Crustal structure and seismicity of the Gorda Ridge

    Creator:
    Solano-Borrego, Ariel E.
    Abstract:
    We have determined the seismic crustal structure of the northern part of the Gorda Ridge using signals generated by explosive charges and recorded on Ocean Bottom Seismometers. The shot pattern forms two parallel lines, one on the east flank and the other along the median valley. Inversion of the travel...
