Abstract

Regional seismic data has been collected over the Lord Howe Rise ((LHR)/Norfolk Ridge area, the Tasman Basin, and the eastern seaboard of Australia, largely by the BMR (Lady Christine & Rig Seismic surveys) and West Germany’s BGR (Sonne surveys SO7 & 36). More recently, deep/crustal seismic data has been interpreted from the Gippsland Basin, a conjugate to the southern part of LHR (Rig Seismic surveys 82 & 90).
