Geology and Geophysics (G&G)

 

Scientists in the G&G Department seek knowledge of the structure, composition, and dynamics of the earth’s interior, the origin and evolution of the earth’s crust, controls on ocean and climate change on time scales of decades to 100 million years, and processes of mass and energy transfer at the land-sea interface.

Recent Submissions

  • Robust magnetotelluric inversion 
    Matsuno, Tetsuo; Chave, Alan D.; Jones, Alan G.; Muller, Mark R.; Evans, Rob L. (Oxford University Press on behalf of The Royal Astronomical Society, 2014-01-02)
    A robust magnetotelluric (MT) inversion algorithm has been developed on the basis of quantile-quantile (q-q) plotting with confidence band and statistical modelling of inversion residuals for the MT response function ...
  • Decreased influence of Antarctic intermediate water in the tropical Atlantic during North Atlantic cold events 
    Huang, Kuo-Fang; Oppo, Delia W.; Curry, William B. (Elsevier, 2014-01-15)
    Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) is a key player in the global ocean circulation, contributing to the upper limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), and influencing interhemispheric heat exchange ...
  • The North Pacific Acoustic Laboratory deep-water acoustic propagation experiments in the Philippine Sea 
    Worcester, Peter F.; Dzieciuch, Matthew A.; Mercer, James A.; Andrew, Rex K.; Dushaw, Brian D.; Baggeroer, Arthur B.; Heaney, Kevin D.; D'Spain, Gerald L.; Colosi, John A.; Stephen, Ralph A.; Kemp, John N.; Howe, Bruce M.; Van Uffelen, Lora J.; Wage, Kathleen E. (Acoustical Society of America, 2013-10)
    A series of experiments conducted in the Philippine Sea during 2009–2011 investigated deep-water acoustic propagation and ambient noise in this oceanographically and geologically complex region: (i) the 2009 North Pacific ...
  • Muted change in Atlantic overturning circulation over some glacial-aged Heinrich events 
    Lynch-Stieglitz, Jean; Schmidt, Matthew W.; Henry, L. Gene; Curry, William B.; Skinner, Luke C.; Mulitza, Stefan; Zhang, Rong; Chang, Ping (2013-11-11)
    Heinrich events - surges of icebergs into the North Atlantic Ocean - punctuated the last glacial period. The events are associated with millennial-scale cooling in the Northern Hemisphere. Freshwater from the melting ...
  • Comparison of CO2 dynamics and air-sea exchange in differing tropical reef environments 
    Drupp, Patrick S.; De Carlo, Eric H.; Mackenzie, Fred T.; Sabine, Christopher L.; Feely, Richard A.; Shamberger, Kathryn E. (2013-01-17)
    An array of MAPCO2 buoys, CRIMP-2, Ala Wai, and Kilo Nalu, deployed in the coastal waters of Hawaii have produced multiyear high temporal resolution CO2 records in three different coral reef environments off the island ...
