Multichannel data acquisition; AcousticAbstract
Multichannel data acquisition has been a keystone of 7 ONR sponsored Arctic acoustic research programs conducted jointly by
WHOI and MIT investigators from 1978 through 1989. This report describes the status and capability of the most recent system
developed at WHOI for the purpose of acquiring digital data from up to 64 channels at sampling rates up to 20 kH per channel
with data bandwidth to 5120 Hz. ONR funded the development of and use of this system and its prototye for 2 Arctic field
experiments, PRUDEX 87 and CEAREX 89. It was most recently use during the Heard Island Feasibility Experiment in
February 1991. Of note are the auto-gain ranging capabilty offering a dynamic measurement range of greater than 120 dB, the
continuous storage capability of up to 200,000 samples per second to a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) device, typically
optical disk, and easy expandability with additional identical chanels connected in parallel.

Upper crustal evolution across the Juan de Fuca ridge flanks
Nedimovic, Mladen R.; Carbotte, Suzanne M.; Diebold, John B.; Harding, Alistair J.; Canales, J. Pablo; Kent, Graham M. (American Geophysical Union, 2008-09-30)Recent P wave velocity compilations of the oceanic crust indicate that the velocity of the uppermost layer 2A doubles or reaches ∼4.3 km/s found in mature crust in <10 Ma after crustal formation. This velocity change is ... -

(2016-10)Multiple styles of failure, ranging from densely spaced, mass transport driven canyons to the large, slab-type slope failure of the Currituck Slide, characterize adjacent sections of the central U.S. Atlantic margin that ... -
Geomorphology and Neogene tectonic evolution of the Palomares continental margin (Western Mediterranean)
Gomez de la Peña, Laura; Gracia, Eulalia; Munoz, Araceli; Acosta, Juan; Gomez-Ballesteros, María; Ranero, Cesar R.; Uchupi, Elazar (2016-03)The Palomares continental margin is located in the southeastern part of Spain. The margin main structure was formed during Miocene times, and it is currently part of the wide deformation zone characterizing the region ...
