This bimodal axial rearrangement has propagated southward for the last 30 to 35 million years, leaving trails on the sea floor along a 1000-kilometer-long V-shaped structure south of the Udintsev fracture zone. The amplitude of this observed anomaly is well predicted if cooling lithosphere begins to accumulate lastic stresses at a temperature of 700C, consistent with the maximum depth of seismicity in the oceanic . Remarkably good correlation is observed between stress orientations deduced from in situ stress measurements and geologic observations made in the upper 1-2 km, well bore breakouts extending to 4-5 km depth and earthquake focal mechanisms to depths of-20 km. Same situation for PROV1989;East Udintsev Fracture Zone Also PROV5880 should be named somehow else, for example: Gulf of Tomini Now it's named as "North Bismark Sea". above the abyssal plains downstream of the Udintsev Fracture Zone (UFZ, 145W). An up-to-date map of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) fronts is constructed from the latest version of mean dynamic topography from satellite altimetry (Park et al., 2019, Observations of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current over the Udintsev Fracture Zone, the narrowest choke point in the Southern Ocean, JGR-Oceans, in review).

Just down- stream of Drake Passage, arotmd 60W, they veer northward around the ridges of the Scotia Arc (Gordon et al., 1978; GiUe, 1994).

PV structure along s 2 = 37.10 (Figure 2c) is strongly constrained by topography as suggested by Figure 1e. Time-series as wiggles along a track. A two-dimensional FEM is used to investigate the flow driven by the horizontal temperature gradient at a fracture zone and to calculate the resulting geoid and topography anomalies. The anomaly due to thermal stresses has been clearly identified in geoid profiles across the Clarion and the Udintsev fracture zones.

(2019) fronts are published at the SEANOE Altimetry-derived Antarctic Circumpolar Current fronts page, please see package CITATION for details. Three fracture zones, the Heezen, Tharp and Hollister fracture zones, extend northwestward across the seafloor northeast of the Hollister Ridge; at least the first two are considered to be part of the Eltanin fracture zone. Here, we propose a new conceptual model for the progressive deformation within broad zones at oceanic TFs through detailed morphological, seismic, and stress analyses. 7 The spreading direction along the PAR has been gradually changing in a clockwise rotation since 12 Ma, with an abrupt change occurring at 5.9 Ma. A scarp lies south of the Hollister Ridge, and even farther south lies the Udintsev fracture zone. The won't be any more icebergs this year, and we have now had our first dark night in almost a month. Hong and J.H.

The "Orsi fronts" are a commonly used climatological map of Southern Ocean frontal distributions, published on the Southern Ocean Atlas Database Page after Orsi et al (1995). Just down-stream of Drake Passage, around 60W, they veer northward around the ridges of the Scotia Arc (Gordon et al., 1978; Gille, 1994). Because of its remoteness, the Pacific-Antarctic ridge (PAR) south of the Udint-sev fracture zone (FZ) remained poorly known until the recent past (1). .

Here we report new bulk rock 187 Os/ 188 Os and HSE abundance data for abyssal peridotites from the Pacific Ocean (Hess Deep along the East Pacific Rise (EPR) and from the Udintsev Fracture Zone (UFZ) along the Pacific Antarctic Ridge (PAR)). various fracture zones, such as the Ascension, Tasman, and Udintsev fracture zones, can be extended much closer to their respective continental margins. Just downstream of Drake Passage, around 60 W, they veer northward around the ridges of the Scotia Arc [Gordon et al., 1978; Gille, 1994]. Just downstream of Drake Passage, around 60 W, they veer . Abstract. But we have left the Amundsen Sea. Pelagic ciliate communities within the Amundsen Sea polynya and adjacent sea ice zone, Antarctica. These data were collected to better understand earthquake hazards in the Charleston seismic zone by imaging structural features in the crystalline basement and to image heavy mineral sands containing titanium, zirconium, and . of geoid anomalies across the Clarion and Udintsev fracture zones with predictions of models for flexure near fracture zones because such models assume that contractional strain-ing fully relieves the contractional stress [Parmentier and Haxby, 1986]. Next topic (10) A geographical bar graph plot. The output shows the sea-surface slopes along 42 descending Geosat tracks in the Eltanin and Udintsev fracture zone region in a Mercator projection.

After leaving Gothenburg on 12 December in the snow, I spent a warm day exploring and eating my way through Singapore on the way to Christchurch, New Zealand and then a few days getting over the jetlag in New Zealand summer. Rio and M.I. Find the section of the East Pacific Rift immediately to the south of the Wilkes Fracture Zone. c. Meanders and vorticity balance From (2), the steady vorticity balance in the ocean To the extent that oceanographic flows are strictly barotropic, they should be steered along contours of Sarah . These features include extinct ridges, minor fracture zone lineations and seamounts. Kim and S.H. . East Acores Fracture Zone,East Aores Fracture Zone: fracture zone: N 36 30' 0'' W 26 0' 0'' 140: Central Basin Trough The "Orsi fronts" are a commonly used climatological map of Southern Ocean frontal distributions, published on the Southern Ocean Atlas Database Page after Orsi et al (1995). The tectonic fabric map also reveals many features that have not been previously mapped. Observed trends in the geoid slope versus age plots are similar on both branches of the Eltanin and the east limb of the Udintsev fracture zone. The "Orsi fronts" are a commonly used climatological map of Southern Ocean frontal distributions, published on the Southern Ocean Atlas Database Page after Orsi et al (1995). The Geosat tracks are stored in the files *.xys, the ridge in ridge.xy, and all the fracture zones are stored in the multiple segment file fz.xy. These features include extinct ridges, minor fracture zone lineations, and seamounts. A. Shah, I. Vlastelic, and M. Yamamoto, 1997, Evolution of the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge South of the Udintsev Fracture . Computer-generated bathymetric map of a portion of the S-central Pacific, showing the Eltanin and Udintsev Fracture Zone systems, and the prominent seamount at about 53.9S, 140.3W in the epicentral area of the March 1991 swarm. 2. After chron C34, the long-offset Udintsev transform fault on the Pacific--Bellingshausen ridge lengthened due to highly oblique and asymmetric spreading at neighbouring segments. After recovering two of three moorings and shaking out a few teething problems in the sampling equipment on . . . This spreading took place in the wake of Chatham Rise as it migrated northwestward following its separation from West Antarctica c.90Ma ago (Figure 1). New (NRL)Zealand, and through the Eltanin and Udintsev Fracture Zones influencein the central Pacific Ocean. In addition, the PAR segment extending between Eltanin and Udintsev fracture zones shows a pronounced positive geoid anomaly [ , 1997 ], thus raising the possibility that the plume material accumulates beneath this spreading segment. Where the absolute value of the gradient is large, the MSS differences are also relatively large; this can be seen near 30W (along the East Scotia Ridge, the South Sandwich Trench, the South Sandwich Fracture Zone, and the North Weddell Ridge), near 120W (the Heezen Fracture zone, the Tharp Fracture zone, the Udintsev Fracture zone, and the .

(1995) fronts are published at the Southern Ocean Atlas Database Page, and the Park et al. However, broad zones of complex deformation are ubiquitous at TFs. We compared our results with geoid anomalies over the Udintsev fracture zone and found that the predicted geoid anomalies are in good agreement with the observed anomalies when the viscosity of (at least) the top layer is greater than one order of magnitude less than post-glacial rebound values (<10 20 Pas). The Udintsev Fracture Zone steers the Antarctic Circumpolar Current that encircles the Antarctic continent southward and is thought to be one of the reasons why warmer water reaches the ice shelves in the Amundsen and Bellingshausen Seas. Oceanic transform faults (TFs) are commonly viewed as single, narrow strike-slip seismic faults that offset two mid-ocean ridge segments.
