Full Title: Reflection Profiling Studies of the California Continental Borderland: Structure and Quaternary Turbidite Basins
Author: David G. Moore
From the original catalog copy: This investigation is designed to study, by continuous-reflection profiling, the volumetric distribution and internal structure of sediments deposited in a group of modern continental-margin submarine basins whose physiographic and oceanographic characteristics are relatively well known and whose relations to source and other variables differ in marked degree. Thus, the sedimentary fill in the basins (the end products of marine processes of erosion, transportation, and deposition) can be related to the physical variables within the region of the basins and conclusions may be drawn regarding the important factors which have influenced its accumulation.
