A Geological and Geophysical Information System for Eurasia, the Middle East and North Africa. Digital Database.
Abstract
With the anticipated completion of multilateral comprehensive nuclear test ban and nonproliferation treaties in the near future, it is essential for the monitoring efforts that multidisciplinary information on any given region is readily available and accessible in a digital, on-line format via electronic networks for use by concerned re-searchers and decision makers. Our objective is to collect and organize all available sissmological, geophysical, and geological datasets for the Middle East and North Africa into a digital information system that is accessible via the Internet from Cornell and can be utilized by the International Data Center and by other ARPA/AFOSR/DOE/AFrAC researchers. We have begun with the depth of the Moho and basement and austal velocity and density structures, primarily as interpreted from seismic refraction, gravity, and drill hole datasets. We have completed data from Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia. We have also digitized key geologic features for the Middle East All data are being stored in our Arc/Info Geographic Information System. We are maintaining a comprehensive bibliography of all the relevant references in a computer database. We are releasing preliminary versions of these databases in several different forms.
