Frequency domain design of deconvolution filters is
studied using Fast Fourier Transform. Filters for both the
spike and the Gaussian reflector wavelet are obtained. True
deconvolution filters are infinitely long IIR filters,
and frequency domain analysis is an effective way of
finding its optimum finite length approximation for an
arbitary...
Deterministic source signature deconvolution is applied to the
processing of marine wide angle and vertical profiler data with air-gun
sources. Optimum results are obtained with a source signature
measured by stacking the signal reflected from a relatively homogeneous
abyssal plain sedimentary environment. This eliminates the need for
the unstable inverse...
Approximately 1600 km of seismic reflection profiles from the
eastern Salt Range and Potwar Plateau (SR/PP) of Pakistan are
integrated with available magnetostratigraphic, surface geologic and
well data, to categorize structural styles, determine the timing of
deformation and estimate the amount of telescoping of the
sedimentary cover. The eastern SR/PP...

The Queen Charlotte Fault system is a segment of the North America - Pacific
plate boundary. From 45 Ma - 5 Ma, plate motion has been primarily translational.
Since 5 Ma, transpression has been the dominant mode of interaction. The plate
boundary west of the Queen Charlotte Islands is characterized...
Contiential margins on plate boundaries are complex systems with morphologies and characteristics dictated by the interplay of sediment deposition and erosion, tectonic faulting, folding, and strong ground motion generating mass wasting events. With ever increasing advances in high-resolution remote sensing techniques these systems are increasingly becoming illuminated.
A ~120 km...
In July 1964 three seismic refraction profiles were recorded
over Stonewall Bank (44°32'N, 124°24'W) to determine gross sub-bottom
geological structure to depths of thousands of feet. In August
1964 a continuous seismic reflection profiler was used to document
shallow geological structure within the rocks forming the Bank.
Stonewall Bank is...
Seismic refraction measurements along two unreversed lines
indicate that the earth's crust is 26 km thick in southeastern Alaska
and 30 km thick along the Inside Passage of British Columbia. The
crust in southeastern Alaska, north of Dixon Entrance, consists of
a layer 9 km thick with a seismic velocity...
