Description
Summary:The Acoustic Reverberation Special Research Program (ARSRP) acquired a unique set of towed vertical array data across a sediment pond adjacent to the mid-Atlantic ridge. Processing of the deep-towed vertical array data to map the subbottom structure within the sediment pond provided the basis for a geological interpretation of the pelagic sediments contained within the pond. The layering in this pond is parallel and subparallel in nature with very gentle dips increasing with depths of the sediment. The gentle dips and the faults within the sediment layers are the result of differential compaction and slumping of the sediments.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
