Seismic properties (P, S velocities and Poisson's ratio) of
young (0.75 m.y.) and mature (110 m.y.) oceanic crust are obtained
by studying explosive refraction data collected in the Pacific Ocean
using ocean bottom and downhole seismometers. A comparison of the
results for the two regions indicates that the upper crustal...
A marine seismic refraction study, conducted in August 1976 by personnel
from Oregon State University and the University of Connecticut between Cape
Simpson and Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, provides data for analysis which yields a
subsurface structural and geological cross-section of the area.
The results suggest that the structural homocline which...
