On this Expedition:
Marine Geophysics: specifically I process and interpret the seismic data we acquire on the cruise and produce maps of the subsurface of the Ninetyeast Ridge and proximity. In addition to watch-keeping, I work with a software program to help analyze the data that we collect from the instruments. Our work out here is a contrast. One the one hand, we work on deck at all hours with gear, regardless of weather, and on the other, we work in a computer lab with custom software and computers. At the start of the trip, several of us met in Thailand and I went diving, did some underwater photography and encountered an aggressive trigger fish! The work out here is interesting. I also helped with work on the Sea90e web site by writing one of the background articles on our dredging operation. It is nice that students have been able to see some of the research at sea.
About myself:
I am a graduate student working on my MS degree in Marine Geophysics at Texas A&M. It is really interesting to come to sea and this is my third ocean expedition.
For Students:
It is very interesting to study the ocean because there is still so much that is unknown about it. Every new piece of information we can gather about the ocean and sea floor brings us one piece closer to solving the puzzle that is the Earth. Studying oceanography provides opportunities to study these new and exciting things, while traveling to new and exciting places all over the world.
