Abstract The Los Angeles basin is a Neogene rift containing a nearly ideal petroleum system. Highly organicrich strata accumulated slowly during tectonic rotation, followed by rapid subsidence and burial beneath thick successions of submarine fan deposits and nonmarine sediments. Los Angeles Basin Modeling Summary 5 Model characteristics Primarily used to develop Best Management Practices for improving storm water quality in the greater Los Angeles area. Simulated outcomes Low flow and peak discharge related to storm water response to rainfall events. Agencies using the model Los Angeles County Flood Control District.
Most popularly employed are gravity and magnetic surveys and surface-wave inversion. While all three methods are successful overall in. Name: Diagram: Description: Active Seismic Experiment (ASE) Through the use of seismology the internal structure of the Moon could be determined to several hundred feet underground.
The ASE consisted of three major components. A set of three geophones was laid out in a line by an astronaut from the Central Station to detect the explosions. A mortar package was designed to lob a set of four.

Menlo Park, CA Janice Murphy () Gary Fuis () The Apollo 14 Passive Seismic Experiment (PSE) was placed on the lunar surface as part of the Apollo 14 ALSEP package.
The PSE was designed to detect vibrations and tilting of the lunar surface and measure changes in gravity at the instrument location. The vibrations are due to internal seismic sources and external (meteoroids and impacts from the spent S-IVB and LM ascent stages).Acronym: PSE.
the potential of passive seismic. What is passive seismic. First, let’s be clear on what I mean by passive seismic. Passive seismic is seismic imaging using sources of opportunity. Rather than the standard airguns, vibrators, or dynamite that a crew usually puts to good use, a passive seismic crew merely deploys an array of receivers and.

The Passive Seismic Experiment produced several important scientific results: Knowledge of Lunar Interior Structure. Like the Earth, the Moon has a crust, mantle, and core.

The Whittier Narrows earthquake, which occurred on a south-vergent blind thrust fault just east of downtown Los Angeles, focused attention on the seismic hazards associated with the numerous structures located within the Los Angeles by: 83 short-period and broadband seismometers in greater Los Angeles for six months.
