Abstract

DURING 1969 the Australian Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics, in conjunction with the University of Queensland, Australian National University and the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics, carried out a survey of the crustal structure in the New Britain-New Ireland region of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea.
