This School of Rock professional development workshop will bring together undergraduate faculty from Minority Serving Institutions from across the United…
Scientists sampled, for the first time, primitive magmatic rocks of the lower crust in the oceanic Pacific in order to understand the manufacturing process of the oceanic crust at a fast-spreading rift.
Scientists investigated how earthquakes form (seismogenesis) where plate boundaries exist, specifically in subduction zones.
In 1912 the Titanic collided with an iceberg in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic. 100 years later, Expedition 342 wanted to discover past climate conditions that led to the Arctic ice that sank the unsinkable.
Expedition 340T measured rock properties, how they varied with depth, and whether adjacent seawater temperatures changed. These data tested hypotheses about how crust forms and evolves at the slow-spreading Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
An expedition to drill into volcanic landslide deposits (underwater avalanches) to investigate the long term geological history of the region and potential for natural hazards.
Scientists studied the sediments deposited by the MOW in the Gulf of Cadiz and the SW Portuguese continental margin to understand the opening of the Gibraltar Gateway, the onset of the MOW, and its influence on the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation, sea level changes and past climate oscillations.
