Investigate the ocean floor and the processes that influence its structure.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Geological oceanographers study the composition, structure and processes associated with sedimentation and rock-forming processes in the ocean basins and within the Earth\u2019s interior. Our faculty and staff are experts in marine geophysics, geodynamics, volcanology, geochemistry, paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, environmental magnetism, and seismology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
