In an article published in Science Advances, a collaborative team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) ...

A team presents new details of an oceanic transform fault at the Gofar fault in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The work reveals unexpected brine deposits beneath the seafloor near the fault, which could ...

Being a geophysicist can sometimes feel like being a detective —uncovering clues, and then building a case based on the evidence.
