This investigation is a seismic study of lithospheric flexure                   induced by the loading associated with the geologically young Ross              Archipelago, Antarctica.  The study involves acquisition of both a              50km-long multichannel seismic reflection line on the ice shelf,                adjacent to Ross Archipelago, and a wide-angle reflection profile               perpendicular to the multichannel seismic line.  This study is a                joint project between scientists from Stanford University and the               Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) in New                  Zealand.  The principal objective is to take advantage of the rare              opportunity to study flexure associated with a well isolated,                   large, and easy to measure volcanic load emplaced on continental                lithosphere.  The strength of an extended continental lithosphere               is a topic of considerable debate, with implications for the                    geotherm, composition and rheology of such regions, as well as the              stratigraphy of the infilling sediments.  A second objective is to              investigate field and processing parameters necessary for a                     successful imaging of the sedimentary and crustal structure                     underlying a thick (several hundred meters) floating ice shelf,                 such as the Ross Ice Shelf.
