Small domes on Venus: Probable analogs of Icelandic lava shields Small domes on Venus: Probable analogs of Icelandic lava shields
On the basis of observed shapes and volumetric estimates, we interpret small, dome-like features on radar images of Venus to be analogs of Icelandic lava-shield volcanoes. Using morphometric data for venusian domes in Aubele and Slyuta (in press), as well as our own measurements of representative dome volumes and areas from Tethus Regio, we demonstrate that the characteristic aspect...

High-energy carbonate-sand accumulation, the Quicksands, southwest Florida Keys High-energy carbonate-sand accumulation, the Quicksands, southwest Florida Keys
High-resolution seismic-reflection profiles of the Quicksands, located along a broad ridge on the platform shelf west of Key West, Florida, indicate a significant deposit of non-oolitic carbonate sand occurs in a belt 47 km long by 28 km wide. The surface of the belt is ornamented by large (5 m), migrating tidal bars, oriented in a north-south direction, on which sand waves, oriented in...

Voyager 2 at Neptune: Imaging science results Voyager 2 at Neptune: Imaging science results
Voyager 2 images of Neptune reveal a windy planet characterized by bright clouds of methane ice suspended in an exceptionally clear atmosphere above a lower deck of hydrogen sulfide or ammonia ices. Neptune's atmosphere is dominated by a large anticyclonic storm system that has been named the Great Dark Spot (GDS). About the same size as Earth in extent, the GDS bears both many...

Crustal structure of the Chugach Mountains, southern Alaska: A study of peg‐leg multiples from a low‐velocity zone Crustal structure of the Chugach Mountains, southern Alaska: A study of peg‐leg multiples from a low‐velocity zone
A seismic refraction profile recorded along the geologic strike of the Chugach Mountains in southern Alaska shows three upper crustal high‐velocity layers (6.9, 7.2, and 7.6 km/s) and a unique pattern of strongly focussed echelon arrivals to a distance of 225 km. The group velocity of the ensemble of echelon arrivals is 6.4 km/s. Modeling of this profile with the reflectivity method...
