Geophysical study of a magma chamber near Mussau Island, Papua New Guinea Geophysical study of a magma chamber near Mussau Island, Papua New Guinea
Analysis of a 24-channel seismic-reflection data collected near Mussau Island, Papua New Guinea, shows a high-amplitude, negative-polarity reflection that we believe is from the top of a magma chamber. The reflecting horizon lies at a depth of about 4.4 s subbottom and can be traced laterally for 2.6 km. On shot gathers, the reflection demonstrates normal moveout appropriate for an in...

Interactions between seabirds and fisheries in the North Pacific Ocean Interactions between seabirds and fisheries in the North Pacific Ocean
Interactions between commercial fisheries and seabirds in the northern Pacific Ocean are increasing with rising consumption of fishery products. As fishing expands into remote areas previously not fished, additional populations of seabirds may be affected. Some interactions such as introduction of fish processing wastes into the environment may be beneficial for seabirds, while others...

Marine petroleum source rocks and reservoir rocks of the Miocene Monterey Formation, California, U.S.A Marine petroleum source rocks and reservoir rocks of the Miocene Monterey Formation, California, U.S.A
The Miocene Monterey Formation of California, a biogenous deposit derived mainly from diatom debris, is important both as a petroleum source and petroleum reservoir. As a source, the formation is thought to have generated much of the petroleum in California coastal basins, which are among the most prolific oil provinces in the United States. Oil generated from the Monterey tends to be...
