Expedition RR2509 to Chain transform fault concluded successfully today with arrival of the R/V Revelle in Porto Grande, Cape Verde. As chief scientist, Prof. Jessica Warren lead the 32 day expedition to sample and survey Chain transform fault in the equatorial Atlantic ocean. This project is funded by the US National Science Foundation.
Members of the Mantle Processes group are participating in an expedition to Chain transform fault in the Atlantic Ocean. Read more about the project here.
The R/V Revelle set sail today for Chain transform fault in the equatorial Atlantic ocean, as part of an NSF-funded project to study the dynamic behavior of a slow-slipping oceanic transform system. Prof. Jessica Warren is chief scientist of the expedition, which will collect samples by rock dredging and survey the fault using the autonomous […]
