Preliminary work which was funded by NSF, identifies a large            area of the South Pacific bounded on the east by the East Pacific               Rise and on the north by the Marquesas Fracture Zone where the                  seafloor is unusually shallow, fails to subside to its expected                 depth, is morphologically rough due to a large hot spot                         population, is underlain by a shallow zone of slow shear wave                   velocity, and shows geochemical anomaly.                                                In this award, Dr. McNutt will examine the existing geoid,              bathymetric, age, seismic and geochemical data to test various                  theories of the origin of the superswell.  This study may lead to               a detail field program for further geologic and geophysical data                collection for the superswell study.  Dr. McNutt is a very                      capable scientist and the project has a very high chance of                     success.
