Creator:: Mackay, Angus James
Abstract:: A structure map was constructed of the continental shelf between Cape Blanco and Coos Bay, Oregon, exclusively from an interpretation of approximately 700 km of continuous seismic profiles. At least ten discernible seismic units were mapped on the bases of acoustic appearance, lateral continuity, angular unconformities, and faults. The offshore...

Creator:: Fleming, Sean W.
Abstract:: Magnetic and gravity modelling was completed along two E-W transects offshore central Oregon. These models indicate that the backstop-forming western edge of the Siletz terrane has a seaward dip of approximately 40° to 49° at 44°48'N, shallowing to ~28° at 44°1 1 'N. This is a well-determined result, given available...

Creator:: Krissek, Lawrence A.
Abstract:: Holocene hemipelagic deposition of terrigenous silts and clays dominates sedimentation on most of the Oregon and Washington continental slope. The sources of these sediments, the mechanisms causing sediment dispersal, and the relative contributions of the various continental sources to the marine deposits have been investigated using quantitative mineral and geochemical...

Creator:: Amspoker, Michael C.
Abstract:: Sediment samples were collected from eight sampling sites along the Yaquina Estuary, Oregon from Yaquina Bay to Elk City near the head of the estuary. Samples were collected in November 1973, February 1974, May 1974 and August 1974 from two or three intertidal levels depending on the magnitude of the...

Creator:: Tsutsumi, Hiroyuki
Abstract:: This thesis analyzes active geologic structures in densely populated areas in Japan and southern California based on geological, geophysical, and paleoseismological observations. Chapter 2 discusses segmentation and paleoseismology of the Median Tectonic Line, Japan. We identified 12 geometric segments along the Median Tectonic Line separated by discontinuities such as en...

Creator:: Li, Zhenlin
Abstract:: The formation of beach placers primarily involves processes of waves and currents that selectively sort and concentrate the valuable minerals according to their densities, sizes and shapes. Black sand placers are found on the beaches adjacent to the mouth of the Columbia River. Reviews of historical shoreline changes show that...
