Investigating Periodicities in Abyssal Hill Morphology of the Atlantic Ocean: Possible Evi — NSF Award to University of Texas at A

Non-Technical Description Though covered by the oceans, abyssal hills are the most common landform on earth. They form at the world’s mid-ocean ridge spreading centers and are important records of the plate spreading process. Past studies of abyssal hills have treated them as purely random processes. The statistical pa

AbstractNon-Technical Description Though covered by the oceans, abyssal hills are the most common landform on earth. They form at the world’s mid-ocean ridge spreading centers and are important records of the plate spreading process. Past studies of abyssal hills have treated them as purely random processes. The statistical parameters of such processes, such as mean, variance, characteristic scale, etc., can be correlated to plate spreading conditions, such as spreading rate, magma supply and crustal th
