Seismic investigations of sedimentary structure in the northern Rockall Trough—a synopsis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 December 2011
Extract
Single channel, analogue, seismic reflection profiles using Sparker and small capacity Air gun sources were used to investigate late Tertiary and Quaternary sedimentation both around the margins and on the floor of the north Rockall Trough. The data complement, by being intermediate in penetration and resolution, previous seismic studies; particularly, they allow the upper 500 m of the sediment sequence to be examined in greater detail than hitherto.
