Contaminants in the Gulf of Maine-What's here and should we worry? Contaminants in the Gulf of Maine-What's here and should we worry?
The Gulf of Maine is a dynamic environment that has highly variable bottom type and localized depositional and transport processes. It is used and impacted by the people around it who hope to use the marine system for many purposes such as fishing, recreation, housing, sewage and dumped disposal, shipping, recreation, and preservation. In order to identify "pollution", which is defined...

Seafloor environments in Cape Cod Bay, a large coastal embayment Seafloor environments in Cape Cod Bay, a large coastal embayment
Cape Cod Bay is a glacial, semi-enclosed embayment that has a patchy distribution of modern seafloor sedimentary environments of erosion or nondeposition, deposition, and sediment reworking. Sidescan-sonar records and supplemental bathymetric, sedimentary, subbottom, and physical-oceanographic data indicate that the characteristics and distribution of these three categories of bottom...

Proceedings of the ocean drilling program: New Jersey continental slope and rise Proceedings of the ocean drilling program: New Jersey continental slope and rise
The Scientific Results volumes of the Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program contain specialty papers presenting the results of extensive research in various aspects of scientific ocean drilling. The authors of the papers published in this volume have enabled future investigators to gain ready access to the results of their research, and I acknowledge their contributions with thanks...

Three-dimensional models of deformation near strike-slip faults Three-dimensional models of deformation near strike-slip faults
We use three-dimensional elastic models to help guide the kinematic interpretation of crustal deformation associated with strike-slip faults. Deformation of the brittle upper crust in the vicinity of strike-slip fault systems is modeled with the assumption that upper crustal deformation is driven by the relative plate motion in the upper mantle. The driving motion is represented by...

Merged GLORIA sidescan and hydrosweep pseudo-sidescan: Processing and creation of digital mosaics Merged GLORIA sidescan and hydrosweep pseudo-sidescan: Processing and creation of digital mosaics
We have replaced the usual band of poor-quality data in the near-nadir region of our GLORIA long-range sidescan-sonar imagery with a shaded-relief image constructed from swath bathymetry data (collected simultaneously with GLORIA) which completely cover the nadir area. We have developed a technique to enhance these "pseudo-sidescan" images in order to mimic the neighbouring GLORIA...
