Gravity anomalies and their structural implications for the southern Oregon Cascade Mountains and adjoining Basin and Range province

Creator:: Veen, Cynthia A.
Abstract:: Gravity measurements made during 1979 and 1980, combined with existing gravity measurements, provide data for the interpretation of upper crustal structures relevant to the assessment of the geothermal potential of south-central Oregon. West of Upper Klamath Lake, free-air gravity anomalies trend north-south and average near 35 mgals. East of Upper...

Long wavelength gravity anomalies and implications concerning a descending lithospheric slab in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: MacFarlane, William Thomas
Abstract:: The thermal regime of a postulated descending lithospheric slab is calculated. The gravity anomaly associated with such a structure is large in amplitude and long in wavelengh. Observed free-air gravity anomalies in the Pacific Northwest do not indicate a gravitational effect due to a descending slab. Two hypothetical compensation models...

Crustal structures and tectonism in southeastern Alaska and western British Columbia from seismic refraction, seismic reflection, gravity, magnetic, and microearthquake measurements

Creator:: Johnson, Stephen Hans
Abstract:: Seismic refraction measurements along two unreversed lines indicate that the earth's crust is 26 km thick in southeastern Alaska and 30 km thick along the Inside Passage of British Columbia. The crust in southeastern Alaska, north of Dixon Entrance, consists of a layer 9 km thick with a seismic velocity...

Geologic structure of the western continental margin of south central Baja California based on seismic and potential field data

Creator:: Coperude, Shane Patrick
Abstract:: Marine geophysical data from the continental margin of Baja California and the Gulf of California, and geological and geophysical data from the Baja California Peninsula and mainland Mexico, outline the major geologic and tectonic features of the Baja California Peninsula and the surrounding areas from 24.5° N. Lat. to 27.5°...

Crustal structure of the Tehuantepec Ridge and adjacent continental margins of southwestern Mexico and western Guatemala

Creator:: Woodcock, Stephen Frederick
Abstract:: A free-air gravity anomaly map of the area between 10°-17°N and 90°-101°W shows distinctive positive and negative anomalies which parallel the Tehuatepec Ridge. The positive anomaly approximately overlies the topographic expression of the ridge. On the wide continental shelf southeast of the Gulf of Tehuantepec a positive gravity anomaly with...

Gravity measurements and their structural implications for the continental margin of southern Peru

Creator:: Whitsett, Robert Manning
Abstract:: A free-air gravity anomaly map of the continental margin of Peru between 12° and 18° S. Lat. shows a -110 to -220 mgl anomaly associated with the Peru-Chile Trench, a -60 mgl anomaly over the Pisco Basin on the continental shelf, and -120 mgl anomaly over the Mollendo (or Arequipa)...

The crustal structure and tectonic framework of the Gulf of Panama

Creator:: Briceno-Guarupe, Luis Alberto
Abstract:: Gravity and magnetic data from cruises by the R/V Yaquina in 1973 and the R/V Wecoma in 1975 provide new data that make possible the construction of a map of the free-air gravity anomalies at sea and simple Bouguer anomalies on lano in Panama, western Colombia, and the eastern Panama...

Gravity and structure of the Pacific continental margin of Central Mexico

Creator:: Sanchez Zamora, Osvaldo
Abstract:: Data collected by personnel of the Geophysics Group at Oregon State University and the Instituto Oceanografico of the Direccion General dé Oceanografia are used to construct a free-air anomaly map for the central part of the Pacific continental margin of Mexico, which shows the gravity expression of major structural features...

Structure of the Panama Basin from marine gravity data

Creator:: Barday, Robert James
Abstract:: In order to quantitatively examine the crustal structure of the Panama Basin without the benefit of local seismic refraction data, the following assumptions were made: (1) No significant lateral changes in density take place below a depth of 50 km. (2) The densities of the crustal layers are those of...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: below a depth of 50 km. (2) The densities of the crustal layers are those of a 50-km standard section
