Summary: | The long range scientific objectives of this contract is to achieve an understanding of crustal generation processes in the South Atlantic, approached with a combined analysis of Sea Beam bathymetric data and sea surface magnetic field data. We are particularly interested in small offset features on the spreading axis, which have a surprisingly large role in altering the normal seafloor fabric and magnetic signature. Keywords: South Atlantic Ocean, Oceanic crust, Seafloor spreading, Marine geology, Ocean ridges, Geomagnetism, Geologic faults. |
