The origin of summit basins of the Aleutian Ridge: Implications for block rotation of an arc massif

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that many summit basins along the Aleutian Arc form from the clockwise rotation of blocks of the arc massif and provided evidence that these blocks have rotated clockwise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of a growing accretionary prism, Hikurangi margin, New Zealand

TL;DR: The Hikurangi margin of eastern North Island, New Zealand, represents the feather edge of the Indian plate at its convergent boundary with the subducting Pacific plate, and a migrated seismic reflection profile across this margin clearly displays the structural evolution of an accretionary prism as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

New seismic images of the Cascadia subduction zone from cruise SO108 — ORWELL

TL;DR: In this paper, a geophysical study of the Cascadia continental margin off Oregon and Washington was conducted aboard the German R/V Sonne, where the authors acquired wide-angle reflection and refraction seismic data, using ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS) and hydrophones (OBH).
Journal ArticleDOI

Active tectonics of the Seattle fault and central Puget Sound, Washington—Implications for earthquake hazards

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use an extensive network of marine high-resolution and conventional industry seismic-reflection data to constrain the location, shallow structure, and displacement rates of the Seattle fault zone and crosscutting high-angle faults in the Puget Lowland of western Washington.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimating accumulation rates and physical properties of sediment behind a dam: Englebright Lake, Yuba River, northern California

TL;DR: In this paper, the mass, organic content, and grain-size distribution of a reservoir deposit in northern California were quantified by two methods of extrapolating measurements of sediment physical properties from cores to the entire volume of impounded material.
