Geological Data Center at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (2019). PPTU04WT Papatua Expedition Leg 04 - Cruise Report. In Data from Scripps Research Expeditions 1953-2005. UC San Diego Library Digital Collections. https://doi.org/10.6075/J0F47MDB

The primary objective of this cruise is to derive a geological model of the process by which seafloor spreading occurs in a back-arc basin, and to test the hypothesis that the opening of the basin has been controlled in part by the mechanism of rift propagation with the direction of propagation running from north to south.
