Geological and Geophysical Investigations of Continental Margins
Abstract
Knowledge of continental margins advanced rapidly during the 1970s. Multichannel seismic reflection whose cost formerly restricted its use largely to the immediate vicinity of shallow-water prospects has become more common in deeper waters. The use of the technique by government and academic groups helped solve basc structural and evolutionary problems of rocks of the deeper offshrore. Better sources and more sophisticated processing yielded better and deeper resolution of the data. To better disseminate new knowledge of continental margins, AAPG held three meetings in 1977 to review the current status of knowledge. The papers presented at those meetings are contained in this volume. There are 32 chapters divided into the following sections: Rifted Margins; Convergent Margins; Small Basin Margins; and Resources, Comparative Structure, and Eustatic Changes in Sea Level.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
