Pisces IV submersible observations in the epicentral region of the 1929 Grand Banks earthquake [PDF]
, 1989 The PISCES IVsubmersible was used to investigate the upper continental slope around 44 ON, 56 W, near the epicentre of the 1929 Grand Banks earthquake. Four dives in water depths of 800-2000 m were undertaken to observe speci3c features identijied with ...

Resistivity image beneath an area of active methane seeps in the west Svalbard continental slope [PDF]
, 2016 The Arctic continental margin contains large amounts of methane in the form of methane hydrates. The west Svalbard continental slope is an area where active methane seeps have been reported near the landward limit of the hydrate stability zone.
