| Abstract |
The PIs will carry out a swath bathymetry survey of the southern
Gulf of California, obtain 3.5 kHz, magnetic and gravity profiles
and collect dredge samples of the volcanic basement. The objectives
are to test hypotheses concerned with the generic problems of how
continental rifts are segmented tectonically and whether this relates
to asymmetries of faulting, how rift propagation occurs tectonically
and what type(s) of magmatism accompanies continental break-up and
earlist seafloor spreading. The Gulf of California is a MARGINS'
focus site and this study will complement other research being carried
out and planned for this region. |
