A Program of Marine Geophysical Research.

Abstract

During the ten year period from 1964 to 1974 a program in marine geophysical research was undertaken by the University of Texas at Dallas. Initially, the program emphasized deep ocean studies including seismic refraction measurements using a single ship and a number of free floating buoys. This work was complemented by continuous seismic reflection profiling. Subsequent studies focused on the continental margins. Continental margin studies were conducted on the east coast of North America, three transects of the margins of the Gulf of Mexico, in the western part of the Coral Sea, and off the coasts of South Africa and Columbia, South America. This report lists papers published as a result of the studies.
