An ocean research cruise led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics is off the coast of Florida surveying the tectonics and movement of the crust hundreds of feet beneath the ocean floor. Follow the expedition’s blog as they look for clues to the break-up of Earth’s last supercontinent Pangea, and how that massive event shaped the magmatic activity below the crust today… Continue Reading Field Blog: Studying the Blake Plateau
Today is my last day on the Helix Q4000, the offshore platform where The University of Texas at Austin-led science team is sampling and studying the methane hydrate reservoir system below. I’ve been out here a week – and it’s gone by fast! This blog isn’t the last of my writing about the methane hydrate… Continue Reading Exploring One of the Largest Carbon Caches on Earth
