Sections have been compiled from the closely spaced Bartlett stations, and statistical regressions of sediment sound velocity versus depth were made with all the available data. It was found that distinct geologic provinces from this region can be characterized with five separate velocity-depth curves, based on the regressions. The very low velocity gradient in the thick Tertiary wedge of sediments just west of the Barents shelf probably indicates rapid, deltaic deposition. More than 9 km of subbottom penetration was achieved in this Tertiary wedge. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
