Report C, general data on bottom sediments including concentration of various elements and hydrocarbons in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. Report D, general data on the geophysical nature of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman

Abstract

This report is divided into two parts; the first concerns the sediments of the Persian Gulf/Gulf of Oman, the second the geophysics of the same area. Data are presented in the first part on sediment texture, mineral composition, pore-water chemistry and hydrocarbon content. In the second part data are given concerning the bathymetry, magnetic gravity and multi-channel seismics. Interpretation and significance of much of the data is discussed.
