Bathymetric change off the Washington-Oregon coast Bathymetric change off the Washington-Oregon coast

Based on borehole observations, sediment underlying the area is homogeneous, consisting of well-sorted, medium to coarse sand. GPR penetrated up to 20 m deep in these sediments, revealing the late Quaternary...
