Deep structure beneath Lake Ontario: Crustal-scale Grenville subdivisions Deep structure beneath Lake Ontario: Crustal-scale Grenville subdivisions
Lake Ontario marine seismic data reveal major Grenville crustal subdivisions beneath central and southern Lake Ontario separated by interpreted shear zones that extend to the lower crust. A shear zone bounded transition between the Elzevir and Frontenac terranes exposed north of Lake Ontario is linked to a seismically defined shear zone beneath central Lake Ontario by prominent...

Limitations of quantitative analysis of deep crustal seismic reflection data: Examples from GLIMPCE Limitations of quantitative analysis of deep crustal seismic reflection data: Examples from GLIMPCE
Amplitude preservation in seismic reflection data can be obtained by a relative true amplitude (RTA) processing technique in which the relative strength of reflection amplitudes is preserved vertically as well as horizontally, after compensating for amplitude distortion by near-surface effects and propagation effects. Quantitative analysis of relative true amplitudes of the Great Lakes

Seismic images of a Grenvillian terrane boundary Seismic images of a Grenvillian terrane boundary
A series of gently dipping reflection zones extending to mid-crustal depths is recorded by seismic data from Lakes Ontario and Erie. These prominent reflection zones define a broad complex of southeast-dipping ductile thrust faults in the interior of the Grenville orogen. One major reflection zone provides the first image of a proposed Grenvillian suture—the listric boundary zone between

Variations in the reflectivity of the moho transition zone beneath the Midcontinent Rift System of North America: results from true amplitude analysis of GLIMPCE data Variations in the reflectivity of the moho transition zone beneath the Midcontinent Rift System of North America: results from true amplitude analysis of GLIMPCE data
True amplitude processing of The Great Lakes International Multidisciplinary Program on Crustal Evolution seismic reflection data from the Midcontinent Rift System of North America shows large differences in the reflectivity of the Moho transition zone beneath the axial rift, beneath the rift flanks, and outside of the rift. The Moho reflection from the axial rift has a discontinuous...

Estimating the amount of gas hydrate in marine sediments in the Blake Ridge area, southeastern Atlantic margin Estimating the amount of gas hydrate in marine sediments in the Blake Ridge area, southeastern Atlantic margin
A relative amount of gas hydrate in marine sediments can be estimated by use of either interval velocity or amplitude blanking in seismic profiles. Under the assumption of constant concentration of hydrate irrespective of porosity, the average bulk hydrate amounts for the lower portion of marine sediments above the bottom simulating reflector in the Blake Ridge area, south-eastern...

E-4 Central Kentucky to the Carolina Trough E-4 Central Kentucky to the Carolina Trough
E-4 is one of eight Geodynamics transects that cross the Atlantic margin of North America between Georgia and Newfoundland. Five of the transects are in the United States and three are in Canada. Transect E-4, which is 110 km wide and more than 1,100 km long, extends from the stable North American craton just west of the Grenville front near Lexington, Kentucky southeastward across Cape...

Imaging the midcontinent rift beneath Lake Superior using large aperture seismic data Imaging the midcontinent rift beneath Lake Superior using large aperture seismic data
We present a detailed velocity model across the 1.1 billion year old Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) in central Lake Superior. The model was derived primarily from onshore-offshore large-aperture seismic and gravity data. High velocities obtained within a highly reflective half-graben that was imaged on coincident seismic reflection data demonstrate the dominantly mafic composition of the...
