The study of the deep structure and tectonic history of                 continental margins is an important topic in the earth and ocean                sciences. The nature and thickness of crustal layers and the                    subsidence history determined from data on sediments can be used                to determine the strength of the continental crust, as well as to               evaluate models for crustal thinning and stretching. The                        continental margin of the Gulf of Valencia in the western                       Mediterranean is an ideal location for such a study since this                  margin has formed relatively recently and has only a thin                       sediment cover.                                                                         The present award will support a marine geophysical program             to examine the thickness, seismic character and heat flow across                this margin. The work will be a cooperative project with French                 and Spanish scientists, and will utilize a second French research               vessel in addition to the R.V. Conrad. These data will be                       integrated with existing well data and gravity studies of this                  margin to evaluate the processes occurring during rifting and                   stretching of continental crust.
