In July of 1989, members of the POMP research team presented the POMP database and plate model at the 28th International Geological Congress in Washington, D.C. Included in their presentation was a series of isochrons constructed using the data base and plate model. This report is meant to serve as documentation of that presentation and of some of the results of POMP itself.
Figure 1 shows magnetic and fracture zone lineations from 1) ship data in the POMP database (data sources are listed by region below) and 2) and from Seasat and Geosat satellite altimetry data.
