SedDB - Data Collection for Marine Sediment Geochemistry
SedDB’s goal is to maximize the use of sedimentary geochemical data for the widest possible range of research topics and in educational applications, and to facilitate their integration with other data types, promoting cross-disciplinary research. |
Marine Geoscience Data Management System: mgDMS
mgDMS is a unified data portal for the NSF Ridge 2000 program, MARGINS program, Marine Seismic Reflection data, Antarctic Multibeam Bathymetry Synthesis, and RIDGE Multibeam Bathymetry Synthesis; includes GeoMapApp cross-platform application for visualization of integrated data sets. |
Division of Marine Geology and Geophysics
Fifty years ago, with the purchase and refit of a 200' pleasure yacht renamed the Vema, Maurice Ewing inaugurated Lamont's exploration of the largely unknown terrain beneath the world's oceans. Today, members of the Marine Geology and Geophysics (MG&G) Division remain explorers at heart, motivated by curiosity to understand these remote and forbidding parts of our planet. Over the years, the tools of exploration have improved from simple echosounders and towed seismic source-and-receiver instruments, to MultiChannel Seismic (MCS) Reflection techniques which allow us to probe more deeply into the Earth, and multibeam bathymetric and side-looking sonar imagers for mapping large areas of the seafloor in ever greater detail. > more
