Summary
Abstract: The aims of the seismic reflection and refraction surveys in the Weddell Sea
are:
a) to develop a model on the break-up of this part of Gondwana,
b) to map the ocean-continent boundary,
c) to develop an idea about the evolution of the area since the break-up of
Gondwana,
d) to map the sediment distribution and the seismostratigraphy of the region
in order to reconstruct major oceanic current ... View entire text
