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 seismic data obtained by the geophysical group at
Oregon State University on the R/V YAQUINA during 1969, 1971, and
1973 plus other available data over the area just west of Nicaragua
and Costa Rica indicate the tectonic complexity of the region. Gravity
measurements show negative free-air anomalies over...
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...
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...
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)...
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...
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...
