Much of the research conducted by this group involves the use of deep-sea research vessels equipped to collect oceanographic and seafloor geological and geophysical data ( e.g. CTDs, multibeam bathymetry, sidescan sonargraphs, gravity, magnetics, cores, single and multi-channel seismics). Examples of recent projects include investigations of the morphology, structure and tectonics of the Southwest Indian Ridge and the Puerto Rico Trench; the tectonic, volcanic, sedimentary history, and paleoceanography of the Caribbean basin and Western Pacific, and cross-shelf sediment transport in the South Atlantic Bight.
