Relative sea-level rise and the development of channel-fill and shallow-water sequences on Cape Cod, Massachusetts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Channel-fill sediments located in shallow-water off the south shore of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, provide a record of the late-Pleistocene and Holocene geological evolution in a post-glacial setting. Though conventionally ...
Plume-lithosphere interaction : geochemical evidence from upper mantle and lower crustal xenoliths from the Kerguelen Islands
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
This study is a geochemical investigation of the evolution of the Kerguelen plume, on the basis of upper mantle and lower crustal xenoliths. Ultramafic xenoliths include harzburgites predominant, a lherzolite, dunites and ...
Seismic scattering of low-grazing-angle acoustic waves incident on the seafloor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The goal of this thesis is to develop a methodology to interpret sound scattered from the seafloor in terms of seafloor structure and subseafloor geological properties. Specifically, this work has been directed towards the ...
Stochastic modeling of seafloor morphology
(Woods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionMassachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990)
Western South Atlantic holocene and glacial deepwater hydrography derived from benthic foraminiferal Cd/Ca and stable carbon isotope data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Today, deep waters produced in the North Atlantic are exported through the western South Atlantic. Antarctic intermediate water (AAIW) also enters the Atlantic in this region. Circumpolar deep water (CDW) fills the depths ...
