Abstract:

This report contains the data from fourteen deep-crustal wide-angle seismic reflection and refraction profiles recorded onland in western Alaska and eastern Siberia from marine air gun sources in the Bering- Chukchi Sea. The wide-angle seismic data were acquired to image reflectors in the upper to lower crust, determing crustal and upper mantle velocieies, and provide constraints on the Moho geometry.
