Reflection experiment on a floating ice platform

Preliminary analysis of a multifold seismic survey on a floating ice platform, northwest of Axel Heiberg Island, along the Canadian portion of the continental margin of the Arctic Ocean revealed a structurally complex basement at a depth beyond 4000 m. the basement is covered with high velocity (500...

Description
Summary:Preliminary analysis of a multifold seismic survey on a floating ice platform, northwest of Axel Heiberg Island, along the Canadian portion of the continental margin of the Arctic Ocean revealed a structurally complex basement at a depth beyond 4000 m. the basement is covered with high velocity (5000 m/sec) rock types. The results conform to the anticipated geologic model for regions of passive margins.
