Processed multichannel seismic data on the Mid-Atlantic Margin off New Jersey, acquired during the R/V Maurice Ewing survey EW9009 (1990)
This project was to provide the data base needed to plan a continental shelf-to-slope drilling program that would define precisely the age of Oligocene to Miocene depositional sequences and test models of sedimentation and relative sea-level changes. The objective was to determine the geometry and age of Oligocene to Miocene depositional sequences and to evaluate the role of relative sea-level changes in developing this record. Funded by NSF grant OCE8911810.
