Book Description

During September 1988, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Geophysics Laboratory, and the Geological Survey of Canada conducted a seismic refraction experiment across Ontario, New York and New England. This report is a compilation of the Geophysics Laboratory (GL) three component refraction and wide angle reflection data recorded during Deployments One, Two and Three across the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York and the Green Mountains of Vermont and southern New Hampshire. The appendix includes data collected by Boston College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which extends the coverage of GL deployment Two at both ends of the profile. These profiles were designed to constrain the three-dimensional velocity structure and bulk composition of the Earth's crust and upper mantle across the northern Appalachian Mountains and western Grenville province using three component seismic refraction data.
