Pacific Enewetak Atoll Crater Exploration (PEACE) Program, Enewetak Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands. Part 3. Stratigraphic Analysis and Other Geologic and Geophysical Studies in Vicinity of KOA and OAK Craters,

Abstract

The purpose of the PEACE Program was to provide highly credible, multidisciplinary set of geologic, geophysical, and material-properties data in order to identify crater dimensions and features for two high-yield nuclear craters and to better understand the dynamic processes that initially formed these craters and that subsequently modified them. These data are essential to the Department of Defense to better understand the survivability of strategic defense systems in the event of a nuclear attack. Physical Stratigraphic Framework; Sr-Isotope Framework; Mineralogy; Organic Content; Insoluble Residues; Downhole Geophysical Logs; Borehole gravity Surveys; Seismic Reference Surveys; Benthic Samples; Additional Paleontologic Studies; Radiation Chemistry ; Additional Sea-Floor Observations; Crater Interpretation.
