Dr. Julie Bowles
I’m an Associate Professor at University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. My group studies how Earth’s magnetic field gets recorded in rocks and other Earth materials. We then use those “fossil” magnetic field records to learn more about geologic processes like volcanic eruptions on the seafloor!
Dr. Jeffrey Gee
I'm a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. My research focuses on what we can learn about the Earth from the magnetization of rock samples and the magnetic anomalies that are generated above these rocks. These data provide information about how Earth's magnetic field has changed over time but also can yield insights into how new crust is generated at oceanic spreading centers - the goal of our present cruise.
Dr. Janine Andrys
I am a postdoctoral research fellow at Boise State University. I am interested in geochemical cycling between Earth’s surface and the mantle over geologic time, the process of magma evolution as it cools and crystallizes in the crust, and the chemistries of primary melts of the mantle at various settings on Earth.
Darin Schwartz
I am a Research Scientist in the Isotope Geology Lab within the Geosciences Department at Boise State University. I am a geochemist interested in understanding how material cycles through the deep Earth over geologic time as a result of plate tectonics. To investigate this process, I use the isotopic and trace element compositions of both modern and ancient lavas sourced from the mantle at all tectonic settings.
Dr. Jyun-Nai Wu
I am a postdoctoral investigator at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. My research interests root on the questions about the hydrothermal circulation and its supporting “engine”. I use bathymetry, images, water column measurements, and other data to discuss magmatic and hydrothermal processes.
Dr. Vaibhav Vijay Ingale
I am a Green Foundation postdoctoral scholar at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. My research centers on using machine learning to automatically detect hydroacoustic earthquake T-phases along mid-ocean ridges. I also study seismic activity in subduction zones and the characterization of submarine landslides.
MC Rapoza
I am a Masters student at University of Idaho working with Dr. Eric Mittelstaedt. My research involves modeling a phenomenon of divergent plate boundaries known as “ridge jumps” in 3 dimensions using the highly parallel code Lithosphere and Mantle Evolution Model (LaMEM).
Megan Ferrell
I am a PhD student at Scripps Institution of Oceanography working on developing new tools to date deformation and fluid-rock interactions in subduction zones by coupling geochemical and microstructural data with apatite U-Pb ages.
Terra Johnson
I am a master’s student working with Dr. Julie Bowles at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Using magnetic techniques, I will compare the paleointensities of basaltic glass from the Southern East Pacific Rise to known records of Earth’s field strength to determine absolute and relative age dates for lava flows.
Mike Anderson
I am a Master’s student working with Dr. Julie Bowles at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I primarily use paleomagnetic techniques to study basalts from Icelandic sub-ice sheet volcanoes, known as tuyas, in order to understand changes in ice sheet thickness.
Cate McLeod
I am a fourth year undergraduate Geoscience major at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. I've been researching plume and mid-ocean ridge interaction in the South Atlantic using local seismic activity data.
Jessica M Sorsen
I am a PhD student at Boise State University. I am working with Dr. Dorsey Wanless. I have had experience in geochemical analysis of the Kane-Atlantis Boundary of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. I am interested in the geochemical properties of the mantle and how that affects the formation of a Mid-Ocean Ridge (MOR), morphological differences along the ridges, and mathematical models that represent different processes that occur at MORs.
