Resolution of the subsurface structure of the Hamersley Province by multi-channel seismic reflection

Summary

Deep crustal seismic reflection data and surface mapping were undertaken to attempt to image three-dimensional structural relationships within the Hamersley Province of Western Australia.

In areas where good data were acquired, there are indications in the seismic data of folds linked to a sub-horizontal detachment which cuts up-section northward.
