A free-air gravity anomaly map of the continental margin of
Peru between 12° and 18° S. Lat. shows a -110 to -220 mgl anomaly
associated with the Peru-Chile Trench, a -60 mgl anomaly over the
Pisco Basin on the continental shelf, and -120 mgl...

The collision of the Indian subcontinent with Asia beginning 40 million years ago
produced the Himalayan orogenic belt, the largest continental collision belt active today. The foreland fold-and-thrust belt in northern Pakistan consists of the...

Mariner 9 and Viking spacecraft observations during the 1970's have provided
evidence for planetary-scale wave-like disturbances in the Mars atmosphere. It has
been suggested that possible sources of the wave activity are dynamical instabilities...

The dynamical processes which maintain atmospheric disturbances
in regions of strong wintertime variability of the northern hemisphere
are examined using data from a GCM simulation. Time series of the
dependent variables and diabatic heating...

The influence of irregular terrain on the evolution of the daytime
planetary boundary layer (PBL) and meso-β scale dry circulations is
studied using two three-dimensional hydrostatic σ-coordinate models
with different approaches for the PBL...

This thesis presents elastic finite difference simulations of two
dimensional wavefield propagation for line-9, recorded during the 1993 part
of the multi-institutional, multi-year Mendocino Triple Junction (MTJ)
Seismic Experiment. Line-9 is a...

In April of 1974, Oregon State University conducted a geophysical
survey of the Orozco fracture zone, a Left-lateral transform fault
which offsets the East Pacific Rise off the coast of Mexico near
15°N, 105°W. Magnetic, gravity, bathymetric, and...

Gravity and magnetic data from cruises by the R/V Yaquina in 1973
and the R/V Wecoma in 1975 provide new data that make possible the construction of a map of the free-air gravity anomalies at sea and simple
Bouguer anomalies on lano in Panama,...

An understanding of the tectonic history of the Klamath Mountains
is crucial for a valid paleogeographic reconstruction of the Pacific
Northwest. However, prior to this study there were very few
paleomagnetic (PM) data from the Klamath Mountains...

The continental margin off the coast of Pakistan between the
Murray ridge and the Gulf of Cambay has been studied in this
work using gravity, magnetic and bathymetric data. Two dimensional
gravity and magnetic models based on free-air
gravity and...

Thermodynamical and dynamical aspects of tropical cloud
clusters are studied using data from the GARP Atlantic Tropical
Experiment (GATE). The data set used in this study is a
three-dimensional gridded set of upper-air analyses constructed by...

The dynamical nature of atmospheric disturbances in
the Southern Hemisphere simulated by a two-level general
circulation (GCM) model is studied. Time series of the
dependent variables and diabatic heating components from
10 Southern Hemisphere...

In July 1964 three seismic refraction profiles were recorded
over Stonewall Bank (44°32'N, 124°24'W) to determine gross sub-bottom
geological structure to depths of thousands of feet. In August
1964 a continuous seismic reflection profiler was...

Recently obtained airgun-sonobuoy wide-angle refraction and
reflection profiles provide data to study crustal velocities and
structures along the continental margin of northern California and
Southern Oregon.
In the thick sedimentary wedge at the...

Power spectral analysis using the maximum entropy method is
applied to the estimation of depth to the source of magnetic anomalies.
The method assumes that the source is two-dimensional and has a
magnetization with random intensity. The predictive...

Five lithologic units, ranging in age from Middle Miocene to Recent,
are defined on the basis of continuous seismic reflection profile records.
Two of the units are Miocene sedimentary and volcanic rocks that have been
truncated to form a major...

University deployed two arrays of three sonobuoys over the Blanco
fracture zone and two arrays of four sonobuoys over the Gorda ridge
to detect and locate microearthquakes. Microearthquake activity predicted

Gravity, magnetic and seismic data indicate that the oceanic
crust is 9.7 km thick west of the Continental Borderland. The top
of the mantle is about 12 km deep under the Borderland, and deepens
to 27 km beneath the Peninsular Ranges of Baja...
