We use multichannel seismic data, gravity, and subsidence modeling, in conjunction with plate reconstructions, to evaluate the crustal origin and composition of the Kerguelen Plateau. Predominantly oceanic crust of the southern and parts of the central Kerguelen Plateau appears to include continenta...
