Since the GLOBALSEIS program has ended, more recent research can be

First results from the Galapagos project

pages for the latest news on this revolutionary new seismograph
that opens up the oceans for seismometry!
The Galapagos project
The last of the Mermaids active near the Galapagos islands (in an effort
to image the deeper segment of the mantle plume)
has now run out of battery power.
It transmitted data until October 2016.
We are currently analyzing hundreds of seismograms.
The figure gives the
path coverage of the data analyzed so far
(path coverage is a technical term indicating how the mantle plume is illuminated by
seismic rays, which will allow is to compute an image of its temperature
anomaly).
A milestone reached
April 2015: Geoazur and Princeton celebrated Guust Nolet's career.

geosciences and what that means for the way we educate students.
