Any fish egg experts out there? These came back with our seismometer this morning, which has spent the past year on the seafloor of the East Pacific Rise, 2.5 km deep.
#NSFfunded #OBSIC_now #lavawatch23
Tiny earthquakes detected by these seafloor seismometers will help us understand how ocean crust is formed in the 6 km-deep Cayman Trough

Cool new paper lead by @JBRussell_ , presenting an uniquely complete elasticity model for the mantle, derived from ocean-bottom seismic observations. Have fun with it! @tellurianite @RobLEvansGeo1 #OBSIC_now @nau_ses
📢 New paper 🚨 We found long-sought evidence for small scale mantle convection just beneath the Pacific plate. Read all about it here. This discovery made possible only by the #NSFfunded #OBSIC_now #PacificArray and collaboration with @jim_gaherty

Hey ocean-bottom seismology fans, check out @eilonzach's excellent new paper imaging small-scale convection beneath the Pacific. @JBRussell_ @nau_ses #OBSIC_now #PacificArray

It’s a wrap! Just finished a very successful seismic cruise on the R/V Langseth offshore Mexico! A big shout out to the ship crew and techs, OBSIC team and science party for all their hard work. Excellent teamwork! @LamontEarth

Going to SAGE-GAGE? Join the SIG on ocean bottom instrumentation to get the latest on the US OBS fleet! #SeismoTwitter #OBSIC_now
EM Team members Eric and Emilia help out, breaking down a recovered Ocean Bottom Seismograph (OBS) while Sentry looks on. @4castgofar #OBSIC_now @WHOI #NSF_funded
Great to finally be on station and deploying instruments after a long, long transit. And what a team we have! @4castgofar @whoi @Scripps_Ocean #NSF_funded #OBSIC_now

Excellent overview of Ocean Bottom Seismometer Noise by @helenjanisz at @IRIS_EPO #MarineSeismology Symposium! #OBSIC_now @WHOI @Scripps_Ocean @LamontEarth @NSF #marinegeophyisics #WomenInSTEM #sciencecruise
More great @IRIS_EPO talks by A. Sheehan A. Trehu Susan Schwartz Geoff Abers, moderated by @helenjanisz and @lindsaypq. Love this graphic of Malawi Rift by @jim_gaherty and @djshillington!
