Using overlapping sonobuoy data from the Ross Sea to construct a 2D deep crustal velocity model
Sonobuoys provide an alternative to using long streamers while conducting multi-channel seismic (MCS) studies, in order to provide deeper velocity control. We present analysis and modeling techniques for interpreting the sonobuoy data and illustrate the method with ten overlapping sonobuoys collected in the Ross Sea, offshore from Antarctica. We demonstrate the importance of using the MCS data ...
متن کاملRevised Eocene-Oligocene kinematics for the West Antarctic rift system
[1] Past plate motion between East and West Antarctica along the West Antarctic rift system had important regional and global implications. Although extensively studied, the kinematics of the rift during Eocene-Oligocene time still remains elusive. Based on a recent detailed aeromagnetic survey from the Adare and Northern Basins, located in the northwestern Ross Sea, we present the first well-c...
متن کاملExtension in the western Ross Sea region-links between Adare Basin and Victoria Land Basin
[1] Spreading in the Adare Basin off north-western Ross Sea (43–26 Ma) and extension in the Victoria Land Basin (VLB, > 36 Ma) are used to constrain the pole of rotation for the Adare Basin, providing a rifting model for the region for the past 45 Ma. The offset from Northern Basin to VLB at about 74 S coincides with the linear Polar-3 magnetic anomaly, inferred to be caused by a major 48 34 Ma...
متن کامل- - Cenozoic Reconstructions of the Australia - New Zealand - South Pacific Sector of Antarctica Steven
Reconstructions are presented documenting the relative motion of the Australia. Antarctic and Pacific plates since Chron 27 (61.1 Ma). In addition to the motion of the major plates, the reconstructions show the relative motion between East and West Antarctica and the continental fragments that make up the South Tasman Rise. Recent observations that are used in making these reconstructions inclu...
متن کاملCrustal structure and rift flank uplift of the Adare Trough, Antarctica
[1] The Adare Trough, located 100 km northeast of Cape Adare, Antarctica, represents the extinct third arm of a Tertiary spreading ridge between East and West Antarctica. It is characterized by pronounced asymmetric rift flanks elevated up to over 2 km above the trough’s basement, accompanied by a large positive mantle Bouguer anomaly. On the basis of recently acquired seismic reflection and sh...
