Backarc evolution from rifting to mature spreading: The Bransfileld and North Fiji Basins (NW Antarctica and SW Pacific)

Five areas, the Eastern and Central Bransfield Basins off the Antarctic Peninsula, and the Tripartite, Central Spreading and South Pandora Ridges of the North Fiji Basin, have been studied using swath-bathymetry and geophysical data. The sites can be classified in terms of backarc basin evolution ,...

Sumario:Five areas, the Eastern and Central Bransfield Basins off the Antarctic Peninsula, and the Tripartite, Central Spreading and South Pandora Ridges of the North Fiji Basin, have been studied using swath-bathymetry and geophysical data. The sites can be classified in terms of backarc basin evolution , from less evolved stages dominated by rifting and incipient spreading (Bransfield Basin), to the maturest stages characterized by organized backarc seafloor spreading, like the North Fiji Basin ridges
