iSIMM released publications

The iSIMM released publications area contains reprints and pre-prints of papers which have been cleared for public release or are already published. Some of the papers have been directly generated by the iSIMM project, while other papers have a direct bearing on and relevance to the science of iSIMM. The papers will previously have been available on restricted access through the Publications section of the Partners' area.

A full list of iSIMM publications, and those closely related to the iSIMM project, covering papers, extended abstracts and conference abstracts (as of October 2005) is provided here:

Seismic acquisition, processing and analysis at continental margins

Sub-basalt imaging in the Faeroe-Shetland Basin with large-offset data
First Break, 2001

iSIMM pushes frontiers of marine seismic acquisition
First Break, December 2002

This is the first publication generated directly from the work of the iSIMM project. It provides a summary of the 2002 seismic cruises. There is also a companion article in the same issue of First Break which describes some results from Q-Marine acquisitions and features a 12 km shot record from the iSIMM acquisition. The article from WesternGeco is entitled:
Q-Marine seismic acquisition results: report from WesternGeco

Ridge-Plume interaction in the North Atlantic and its influence on continental breakup and sea-floor spreading
Geological Society Special Publication 197, 2002 - Draft

Imaging and regional distribution of basalt flows in the Faroe-Shetland Basin
Geophysical Prospecting, 2003

Depth imaging of basalt flows in The Faeroe-Shetland Basin
Geophysical Journal international, 2003
Beware, at ~23MB this article is a large download.

This is an electronic version of an article published in Geophysical Journal International: complete citation information for the final version of the paper, as published in the print edition of Geophysical Journal International, is available on the Blackwell Synergy online delivery service, accessible via the journal's website at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journals/GJI
