Synthesis of oceanic crustal structure from two‐dimensional seismic profiles

GL Christeson, JA Goff, RS Reece - Reviews of Geophysics, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
We present a new synthesis of oceanic crustal structure from two‐dimensional seismic
profiles to explore differences related to spreading rate and age. Primary results are as …
