Congratulations to Melinda Bahruth on her successful thesis defense! Melinda presented her work on “Basaltic Breccia Constraints on the Shallow Rheology of the Gofar Transform Fault”. Despite the early hour on Friday, the Zoom audience was packed and overflow seating was needed for the in-person crowd in Penny Hall.
Our article about ship-based research into deformation and seismicity of the Gofar Transform Fault is published in Eos: Boettcher, M.S., E.C. Roland, J.M. Warren, R.L. Evans, and J.A. Collins, 2023. Observing a seismic cycle at sea, Eos, 104, https://doi.org/10.1029/2023EO230076.
Leg 3 of the 2019-2021 Gofar Transform Fault Earthquake Prediction Experiment set sail from San Diego earlier this month and arrived on site in the equatorial Pacific this week. The scientists, engineers, and crew aboard the R/V Thompson are now working to recover ocean bottom seismometers, use the autonomous underwater vehicle Sentry to image the […]
We’re back from cruise AT42-20, with lots of rocks!

We set sail at 1600 on Nov 16th from San Diego!
A new phase of seismic experiments on Gofar Transform Fault begins this week as we set sail on the R/V Atlantis to deploy seismometers and dredge for rocks. This project builds on the successful 2007-2008 Gofar-Discovery-Quebrada experiment (McGuire et al., 2012; Roland et al. 2012). Lead PI for this NSF-funded project is Margaret Boettcher, with […]
