Sedimentation and subsidence history of the Lomonosov Ridge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
During the first scientific ocean drilling expedition to the Arctic Ocean (Arctic Coring Expedition [ACEX]; Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 302), four sites were drilled and cored atop the central part of the Lomonosov Ridge in the Arctic ...

Identifying the Frequency Dependent Interactions between Ocean Waves and the Continental Margin on Seismic Noise Recordings

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
This study presents an exploration into identifying the interactions between ocean waves and the continental margin in the origination of double-frequency (DF, 0.1−0.5 Hz) microseisms recorded at 33 stations across East Coast of USA (ECUSA) during ...

Contrasting stress fields on correlating margins of the South Atlantic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The “passiveness” of passive continental margins across the globe is currently under debate since several studies have shown that these margins may experience a variety of stress states and undergo significant vertical movement post-breakup.

Hydrocarbon accumulation in the deep waters of South China Sea controlled by the tectonic cycles of marginal sea basins

open access: yesPetroleum Research, 2016
: The tectonic cycle of the marginal sea basins in South China Sea (SCS) includes two cycles, i.e., the formation and contraction of Palaeo-SCS and Neo-SCS.

Flexural Response to Erosional Unloading of Continental Margins: An Example From the Bering Sea, USA

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The geodynamic response of continental margins to erosion may reveal current and past changes in the location of the continental slope. We model the three‐dimensional isostatic response to erosion along the retreating Beringian Margin to test the ...

On the origin of the North Pacific arcs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean.

Mantle Structure and Flow Across the Continent‐Ocean Transition of the Eastern North American Margin: Anisotropic S‐Wave Tomography

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Little has been seismically imaged through the lithosphere and mantle at rifted margins across the continent‐ocean transition. A 2014–2015 community seismic experiment deployed broadband seismic instruments across the shoreline of the eastern North ...

Differences in Thermo-Rheological Structure between Qiongdongnan Basin and Pearl River Mouth Basin: Implications for the Extension Model in the Northwestern Margin of the South China Sea

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
This study combines surface heat flow, multi-channel seismic reflection profiles, and ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) profiles to determine the thermo-rheological structure of the Qiongdongnan Basin (QDNB) and Pearl River Mouth Basin (PRMB), with the aim ...

Tectonic overview of the West Gondwana margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The oceanic southern margin of Gondwana, from southern South America through South Africa, West Antarctica, New Zealand (in its pre break-up position), and Victoria Land to Eastern Australia is one of the longest and longest-lived active continental ...

Deformation of continental crust along a transform boundary, Coast Mountains, British Columbia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
New structural, paleomagnetic, and apatite (U-Th)/He results from the continental margin inboard of the Queen Charlotte fault (~54°N) delineate patterns of brittle faulting linked to transform development since ~50 Ma.
