Mapping surficial geologic habitats of the Oregon continental margin using integrated interpretive GIS techniques

Creator:: Romsos, Christopher G.
Abstract:: We map the regional physiography and surficial lithology (Surficial Geologic Habitat or SGH) over the continental margin of Oregon. This thesis develops, describes, and implements an iterative interpretive method to map seafloor habitat types from disparate geological and geophysical datasets including: bathymetric images, sidescan sonar images, seismic reflection profiles, sediment...

Robert Hooke and the foundation of geology : a comparison of Steno and Hooke and the Hooke imprint on the Huttonian theory ; and, The tectonic evolution of the Oregon continental margin : rotation of segment boundaries and possible spacetime relationships in the Central High Cascades

Creator:: Drake, Ellen T.
Abstract:: Based on the principle that the history of a discipline is important to the discipline itself, this thesis devotes two chapters to ROBERT HOOKE AND THE FOUNDATION OF GEOLOGY and two chapters to modern geology, viz. THE TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE OREGON CONTINENTAL MARGIN. The first part of this abstract...

Coastal ocean response to alongshore variations in topography and wind forcing

Creator:: Castelao, Renato Menezes
Abstract:: The effects of alongshore variability in topography (banks and capes) and spatial variability in the wind forcing, including the wind-stress curl, on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a combination of observations and model simulations. Satellite sea surface temperature observations are used to describe the seasonal evolution of temperature fronts...

Crustal structure of the Continental Borderland and the adjacent portion of Baja California between latitudes 30⁰N and 33⁰N

Creator:: Plawman, Thomas Leon
Abstract:: Gravity, magnetic and seismic data indicate that the oceanic crust is 9.7 km thick west of the Continental Borderland. The top of the mantle is about 12 km deep under the Borderland, and deepens to 27 km beneath the Peninsular Ranges of Baja California. The mantle is about 20 km...

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...

Tertiary geologic framework, neotectonics, and petroleum potential of the Oregon-Washington Continental Margin

Creator:: Snavely, P. D., Jr. and Geological Survey (U.S.)
Abstract:: The Tertiary geologic evolution of the Oregon and Washington continental margin was molded by episodic periods of convergence between the Pacific oceanic plates and the North American plate. This margin is the site of a deep basin that is floored by Paleocene to lower Eocene oceanic crust and contains more...

Frequency response function analysis of the equatorial margin of Brazil using gravity and bathymetry

Creator:: Macario, Ana L. G.
Abstract:: The overall objective of this study is to address questions concerning the long-term mechanical strength of the lithosphere across the equatorial margin of Brazil. The approach used in this study consists of calculating the frequency response function estimates, also called admittance, using gravity and bathymetry data. These experimental estimates are...

Crustal structure of the northwestern continental margin of the Indian subcontinent from gravity and magnetic data

Creator:: Soofi, Muhammad Asif
Abstract:: The continental margin off the coast of Pakistan between the Murray ridge and the Gulf of Cambay has been studied in this work using gravity, magnetic and bathymetric data. Two dimensional gravity and magnetic models based on free-air gravity and residual magnetic data are developed along a north-south profile off...
