Application of Seasat altimetry to tectonic studies of fracture zones in the Southern oceans
… altimetry has provided a means of estimating seafloor topography and its compensation, which in turn can be used to understand the evolution of oceanic lithosphere. In the first study, the correlation between the geoid, deflection of the vertical, and seafloor topography is investigated along …

Sediment Supply Effects On thePlio-Pleistocene Stratigraphic Evolution of the Douala Basin, West Africa
… Delta to the northwest.</p> <p>The present-day seafloor of the basin is characterized by two low-amplitude deep water channels of late Pleistocene age that exhibit low sinuosity. The vertical stacking and lateral variations along these channels suggest that the initial seafloor topography was a …

Quantifying turbidity current interactions with topography
… currents are mediated by interactions with seafloor topography, specifically channelized surfaces. Turbidity currents are responsible for crafting the morphology of continental margins. Unfortunately, very few direct observations exists defining turbidity current interactions with submarine …

Structure and dynamics of the Pacific upper mantle
… anisotropy in the uppermost mantle, and the topography of the 410 and 660 discontinuities. We construct vertical tomograms through two mantle corridors: one between the Tonga subduction zone and Oahu, Hawaii, which traverses the central Pacific Ocean; and the other between the Ryukyu …

Sedimentology and Architecture of a Partially Contained Deposit, Cerro Solitario, Magallanes Basin, Chilean Patagonia
The depositional styles of sediment gravity currents depend, in part, on the relationship of flow magnitude to the scale of topographically controlled containment and range from unconfined lobes to fully contained deposits. Determining the degree of containment is important for understanding …
