Pelagic sediments, on land and under the sea : proceedings of a symposium held at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich, 25-6 September, 1973 /

This first IAS Special Publication contains the oral presentations from a special symposium on pelagic sediments held in Zurich in 1973. The aim of the symposium was to bring together sea-borne researchers involved with the Deep Sea Drilling Project and land-locked researchers studying ancient sedim...
