Marine Geology and Geophysics: The Marine Geology and Geophysics program supports research on all aspects of geology and geophysics of the ocean basins and margins, as well as the Great Lakes.The Program includes: * Structure, tectonic evolution and volcanic activity of the ocean basins, the continental margins, the mid-ocean ridges, and island arc systems * Processes controlling exchange of heat and chemical species between seawater and ocean rocks * Genesis, chemistry, and mineralogic evolution of marine sediments * Processes controlling deposition, erosion and transport of marine sediments * Past ocean circulation patterns and climates and * Interactions of continental and marine geologic processes
