Seismic Refraction Survey of Victoria Land Basin Area, Ross Sea, Antarctica

这个海洋地震反射项目旨在确定南极洲罗斯海西部维多利亚陆地盆地和恐怖裂谷的地质结构。美国地质调查局将部署其数字海底地震仪系统，以确定横贯南极山脉东部边缘的大陆地壳和上地幔的地震速度结构。该实验计划在1988/ 1989年的实地季节与德意志联邦共和国联邦地质研究所联合进行，该研究所将提供仪器部署的海上平台。

This marine seismic-reflection project is designed to define the geologic structure of the Victoria Land Basin and the Terror Rift in the western Ross Sea of Antarctica. The U.S. Geological Survey will deploy its system of digital ocean bottom seismographs in order to determine the seismic velocity structure of the continental crust and upper mantle along the eastern margin of the Transantarctic Mountains. The experiment is scheduled to be performed in the 1988/89 field season in conjunction with the Bundesanstalt fur Geowissenschaften, Federal Republic of Germany, which will provide the marine platform for instrument deployment.
