From December 16, 2014 to January 15, 2015, our team including 10 scientists, 5 engineers, and more than 20 technicians and crew will sail to the Western Pacific Ocean near 20°N, 160°E to measure the magnetism, bathymetry, gravity, and structure of the Jurassic seafloor to investigate the history of the Earth’s geomagnetic field.
The Jurassic Magnetism expedition is a collaborative effort funded by the National Science Foundation.
