East Pacific Rise 2004

Marine EM Lab performs world's largest marine EM experiment!

In February 2004 the Marine EM lab carried out the largest marine EM experiment of any academic or industrial group. On the R/V Roger Revelle we collected 69 sites of broadband marine MT data and towed the new Scripps deep-tow EM transmitter SUESI for over 80 km, resulting in the largest marine MT and controlled-source EM data set ever collected. With this huge amount of data the goal of this experiment is to image the magmatic and hydrothermal systems associated with plate spreading volcanism at the mid-ocean ridge.
