Collaborative Research: Mass-Flow Deposits in Seismic Profiles from the US Continental Rise: Mapping the Third Dimension

小行星9505728 PI将绘制布莱克海岭和新英格兰海山之间的美国大陆隆起上1.0秒沉积物记录中的质量流沉积物。利用现有的单道和多道地震剖面，绘制物质流的垂向展布。3.5 KHz记录也将被检查。地下峡谷也将被绘制成地图。随着对质量流沉积物的地震表达的认识的提高，PI打算将其下坡运输的体积测量扩展到上第三纪。

9505728 Damuth The PIs will map mass flow deposits in the upper 1.0 sec record of sediments on the US continental rise between Blake Ridge and New England seamounts. Single and multi-channel seismic profiles in existence will be used to map vertical extend of mass flows. 3.5 kHz records will also be examined. Buried canyons will also be mapped. Armed with improved awareness of the seismic expression of mass-flow deposits, the PIs intend to extend their volumetric measures of down-slope transport to the rise back to the Neogene time.
