47. STRUCTURE AND EVOLUTION OF THE CENTRAL KERGUELEN PLATEAU DEDUCED FROM SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHIC STUDIES AND DRILLING AT SITE 7471
The structure and evolution of the Central Kerguelen Plateau (CKP), located between 54°-57°S and 61°-84°E, is derived from the seismic stratigraphic interpretation of multichannel seismic data and from Ocean Drilling Program results at Site 747. The CKP formed 120-110 m.y. ago by excessive volcanic...
