Tectonic Evolution of the Bering Shelf-Chukchi Sea-Arctic Margin and Adjacent LandmassesElizabeth L. Miller, Arthur Grantz, Simon Klemperer Geological Society of America, 2002 - 387 Seiten CD-ROM contains a GIS-based compilation of geological and geophysical data for the Bering Shelf-Chukchi Sea and adjacent landmasses. Also includes an animation of the terrane motions on a globe at 3 m.y. intervals, and supplementary data and digital versions of figures from several chapters. |
