A Broadband Seismic Investigation of Deep Continental Structure Across the East-West Antarctic Boundary ...
In this project, we propose to address two outstanding questions concerning the tectonic development of Antarctica. 1. What is the origin of the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM)? 2. What is the structure of the East Antarctic craton? To address these questions, we have designed a seismic experiment th...
