... traces of the seismic profiles have shown dominated frequency anomaly approximately 10 Hz with little amount of other frequencies. The variation of frequency anomaly is shown to be the indication of the Moho depth of the area. Estimated Moho depths are found very irregular and varying from 20 km to ...

Marine mudstone deposits with suggested source-rock intervals and oil seeps were recovered from both West Greenland (Bojesen-Koefoed et al. 1999) and northern East Canadian islands (MacLean & Williams 1983; Brent et al. 2013) ...

... We achieve a good coverage of azimuths and ray parameters with 66 teleseismic events (Fig. 2). For our P-wave model we use 203 stations west of 10.5³E. P-wave travel time residuals are calculated by subtracting the theoretical travel time for the IASP91 [16] model from the observed travel time. To e ...

These socalled intraplate earthquakes are of great concern because they occur rather infrequently, which means people are generally less prepared.
