Study deep seismic structure of Transverse Ranges, Los Angeles Basin, and Inner Continental Borderland
Description
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Chief Scientist: Tom Brocher. Multi-Channel Seismic and Seismic Refraction data (airgun, 24channel) of field activity EW9415 (E-15-94-SC) in Onshore/offshre Mojave Desert-Los Angeles Basin-San Clemente Island from 10/13/1994 to 10/21/1994
Location
Onshore/offshre Mojave Desert-Los Angeles Basin-San Clemente Island
Summary
Data were gathered along three long profiles, all of which extended both onshore and offshore. One extended from the Mojave Desert to San Clemente Island, a second from Soledad region to the region west of San Clemente Isand, and a third from Orange County to the area offshore south of the northern Channel Islands.
Info derived
Multi-channel images of southwest edge of Los Angeles Basin show basin sediments truncated at large northeast dipping system of structures that separate them from Catalina Schist basement to the southwest. Moho beneath the Inner Continental Borderland is flat at about 14 km depth and it dips northeast to 20 km beneath Los Angeles Basin.
