A team of seismologists from the University of Southampton are currently on board the Royal Research Ship Discovery sailing across the Mid-Atlantic Ocean. They are out for the second phase of the PI-LAB (Passive Imaging of the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary) project, this time recovering ocean bottom stations that were deployed last year. Their scientific mission is… Read More PI-LAB phase II: The recovery
This summer a number of University of Southampton geophysicists participated in a large, international seismic expedition to study continental breakup in the Deep Galicia Basin, offshore northwest Spain. The project includes acquisition of ocean bottom seismometer as well as multi-channel seismic reflection data onboard two separate research vessels, RV Poseidon and RV Marcus G. Langseth.… Read More Recent seismic cruises study ancient continental breakup offshore NW Spain – by Marianne Karplus
