Graduated 2020
Dominik is interested in the evolution of oceanic crust and the processes that affect its physical properties. Dominik performed extensive seismic velocity analysis using MCS data from the Crustal Reflectivity Experiment Southern Transect (CREST). His goal for the project was to characterize the velocity structure of the uppermost oceanic crust in the western South Atlantic, which has implications for the effect of magmatism and hydrothermal processes on the makeup and geologic structure at slow to intermediate spreading crust.
