Three-dimensional architecture and paleoenvironments of Osaka Bay an integrated seismic study on the evolutionary processes of a tectonic basin /

This publication shows the three-dimensional configuration of the gigantic tectonic sag of the Osaka Bay sedimentary basin on the eastern Eurasian margin based on reflection seismic data never before published. The basin has developed relatively quickly since the dawn of the Quaternary. High-resolut...
