  1. The seismic attenuation structure of the East Pacific Rise

    Wilcock, William S. D.Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution1992

    … ridge. The experiment location at 9°30'N on the East Pacific Rise is the site of a strong mid-crustal seismic reflector which has been inferred to be the roof of a small axial magma chamber at about 1.6 km depth. A spectral method is used to estimate t*, a measure of the integrated attenuation …

    Christeson, Gail L.Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution1994

    … refraction experiments carried out over young East Pacific Rise (EPR) crust. The experiments are unusual in that both the source and receiver are located within a few meters of the seafloor, allowing high-resolution determinations of shallow crustal structure. Three experiments were located …

    Waters, Christopher L.Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution2010

    Volcanic accretion at the fast-spreading East Pacific Rise (EPR) occurs over a ~2-4 km wide neo-volcanic zone on either side of the axial summit trough (AST). Eruption ages are critical for understanding the distribution and timing of volcanic and magmatic activity. Uranium series nuclides are …
