In this thesis anomalous downcore shallowing of paleomagnetic
inclinations is interpreted to be caused by sediment compaction. Thus,
compaction-induced inclination shallowing may influence tectonic
reconstructions that are based on inclinations from deep-sea sediment
cores.
Progressive downcore shallowing of the remanent inclination was
observed in a 120-m section of Plio- Pleistocene...
To facilitate the selection of drill sites for Leg 138, a site survey
program was conducted on board the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography's research vessel Thomas Washington (Cruise Venture
1). During this cruise, which departed San Diego on 30 August 1989
and arrived in Manzanillo, Mexico, on 4 October 1989,...
