SEISMIC REFLECTION PROFILING ON THE CONTINENTAL SLOPE OF THE WESTERN AUSTRALIA
The continuous seismic reflection profiling was made in 1965-1966 during the 7th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition This paper reports on the structure of sediments on the continental slope along the west coast of the Australian continent, as a part of the results The pneumatic gun of Lament Geo...
