The continent-ocean crustal transition across the southwest Greenland margin
The complete crustal transition across the nonvolcanic, southwest Greenland continental margin of the Labrador Sea is examined using wide-angle and coincident vertical-incidence seismic profiles. Six ocean bottom seismometers ... -
Extinct spreading center in the Labrador Sea: Crustal structure from a two-dimensional seismic refraction velocity model
The Labrador Sea contains a rare example of an abandoned mid-ocean ridge where active accretion of oceanic crust ceased due to a change in the spreading geometry of lithospheric plates. Seismic refraction data were collected ... -
Heat flow in the Balearic and Tyrrhenian basins, western Mediterranean
Presents the results of three detailed heat flow surveys which are used to investigate the variations of heat flow and age of the Balearic and Tyrrhenian basins in the western Mediterranean. The heat flow values are within ... -
Variations in heat flow across the Goban Spur and Galicia Bank continental margins
Presents the results of 44 new heat flow stations which were taken in 1984 and 1989 in profiles across the Goban Spur and Galicia Bank continental margins (NE Atlantic Ocean). Simple extensional models indicate that the ...
