2009 Observatories Meeting: Top Subseafloor References

In preparation for this workshop, we asked all applicants to submit their top 5 list of subseafloor references, as well as their top 5 list of critical-but-overlooked references. The results with a minimum of two nominations are compiled below in order of frequency.
