Environmental Report on the Northwest Pacific for the Marine Seismic System (MSS)

Abstract

This report presents data compilations to aid in planning and site selection for the Marine Seismic System (MSS). Data are compiled for two geographic areas: the Northwest Pacific (40-56 N, 145-170 E) and the Kuril- Kamchatka earthquake region. Included for the Northwest Pacific are cultural, meteorological, oceanographic, geological, geophysical and seismological data to define the environment in which the potential MSS will operate. Kuril-Kamchatka earthquake zone data consist of seismic velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle and earthquake hypocenters.
