Options for radioactive and other hazardous waste siting within the U. S. Exclusive Economic Zone Options for radioactive and other hazardous waste siting within the U. S. Exclusive Economic Zone

Some areas of the E.E.Z. (Exclusive Economic Zone) offer technical, political and economic options that may complement existing approaches to hazardous waste storage and disposal.

Middle to late Miocene canyon cutting on the New Jersey continental slope: Biostratigraphic and seismic stratigraphic evidence (DSDP/Site 612) Middle to late Miocene canyon cutting on the New Jersey continental slope: Biostratigraphic and seismic stratigraphic evidence (DSDP/Site 612)

We have identified and dated a major Miocene erosional surface (M1) on the New Jersey continental slope. This surface was penetrated at Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Site 612, which was drilled near the thalweg of a buried V-shaped canyon. Biostratigraphic data at Site 612 firmly constrain the age of strata above the buried canyon surface as Zones CN7 (=NN9) and N16 (lowermost upper...

Subsidence, crustal structure, and thermal evolution of Georges Bank basin Subsidence, crustal structure, and thermal evolution of Georges Bank basin

A geophysical study of Georges Bank basin defines a deep crustal structure that is interpreted in terms of the basin's tectonic and thermal history. Gravity models along three basin cross sections delineate two zones of crustal thinning at the basement hinge zone and oceanic crustal margins. These two zones bound rift-stage crust (about 25 km thick) which underlies the central portion of...

Sidescan sonar as a tool for detection of demersal fish habitats Sidescan sonar as a tool for detection of demersal fish habitats

Sidescan sonar can be an effective tool for the determination of the habitat distribution of commercially important species. This technique has the advantage of rapidly mapping large areas of the seafloor. Sidescan images (sonographs) may also help to identify appropriate fishing gears for different types of seafloor or areas to be avoided with certain types of gears. During the early...

Seismic stratigraphy and facies of continental slope and rise seaward of Baltimore Canyon Trough Seismic stratigraphy and facies of continental slope and rise seaward of Baltimore Canyon Trough

As part of a survey of the United States continental rise seaward of the northern Baltimore Canyon Trough, four major depositional sequences were mapped on a grid of 2,350 km of multichannel seismic reflection profiles. The sequences, which range in age from Jurassic (?) to Quaternary, record a gradual sedimentary buildup of fine-grained onlapping and slope-front fill. A broad wedge of...

Cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts from the Central Pacific Cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts from the Central Pacific

Ferromanganese crusts coat most hard substrates on seamounts, ridges, and plateaus in the centralPacific basin. Crusts from less than 2500 m water depth are rich in Mn, Co, Ni, Pb, and Pt. Samples we collected from the EEl of the Hawaiian, Johnston, Palmyra, and Marshall Islands are discussed. Necker Ridge in the Hawaiian EEl has the greatest average crust thickness of 4 em. The dominant...
