Mudflow generated by retrogressive slope failure, Santa Barbara Basin, California continental borderland Mudflow generated by retrogressive slope failure, Santa Barbara Basin, California continental borderland
The morphology and internal geometry of a mudflow deposit on the mainland slope of the Santa Barbara Basin are defined using high-resolution seismic-reflection data in combination with core samples. Sediment failure occurred on a 4 degrees slope in the uppermost part of late Quaternary well-bedded slope deposits. The failure zone extends from water depths of 374-510 m near the base of...

Physiography of the western United States Exclusive Economic Zone Physiography of the western United States Exclusive Economic Zone
GLORIA (Geologic Long-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan sonar images were collected over the entire Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) west of the conterminous United States. The continuous, overlapping, swath-mapping technique provides, for the first time, a reconnaissance plan view off the entire sea floor from the edge of the continental shelf to 370 km from shore. The mid-ocean ridges...

GLORIA II sonograph mosaic of the western U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone GLORIA II sonograph mosaic of the western U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone
In 1983 the United States declared sovereign rights and jurisdiction over living and nonliving resources in an area extending 200 nautical miles (370 km) seaward from its shores. In response to the establishment of this Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has implemented a program, called EEZ‐Scan, to systematically map the EEZ, using the Geological Long‐...

Geologic hazards in Navarin Basin Province, Northern Bering Sea Geologic hazards in Navarin Basin Province, Northern Bering Sea
Navarin Basin, scheduled for leasing in 1984 (OCS sale 83), may contain vast accumulations of oil and gas. Several geologic and oceanographic processes that may be active in and around Navarin Basin province could be hazardous to commercial development. These potential hazards include submarine slides; sea-floor instability resulting from disturbance of gas-charged sediment; sediment...
