Vertical incidence and wide angle seismic data suggest the central California transform margin is underlain at depth by a horizontal detachment surface above which strike-slip and compression occur. The boundary between ...

A number of piston cores from the Bellingshausen abyssal plain contain gravel and sand units which are interpreted as turbidites deposited in submarine channels. Middle and outer fan deposits are lacking, although core ...

Sedimentologic, compositional, and cleat shape analyses reveal that piston cores obtained on the northwest Weddell See continental shelf penetrated residual glacial marine sediments adjacent to Seymour Island, compound ...

Pleistocene sedimentation at the outer continental shelf of the northwest Gulf of Mexico was related to eustatic fluctuations of sea level during the Wisconsin period. Four seismic sequences interpreted from high resolution ...

This study demonstrates the validity of using vertical grain size progressions as an environmental indicator for ancient clastic sequences. Previous methods of grain size analysis are shown to be generally unreliable for ...

Northwestern Taiwan, which includes the Kuanyin, Hukou and Hsinchu areas, was initially a part of the continental shelf of the mainland China coast. The Neogene sediments were deposited m gently east-dipping basement in a ...
