Marine Geology and Geophysics

Facilities


The marine program within the Jackson School of Geosciences boasts a number of cutting edge facilities including laboratories on main campus and at the Pickle Research Campus, high-resolution geologic and geophysical equipment for at-sea research, a small coastal research vessel the R/V Itasca, and an active Ocean Bottom Seismometer program with a long history of deployments around the world. We also host a Seismic Data Center that makes center data collected over multiple projects throughout the years is accessible by the community.

Details on some of these facilities below. Additional information to be provided soon.
