I am interested in marine geophysics, an example of a recent research project involves the deep seismic data collected on the U.S. East Coast margin as a part of the EDGE deep seismic reflection program, of which I was an initiator. Study of this data has led to an understanding of the evolution of the U.S. Atlantic Margin. I am also interested in potential field studies currently involving the gravity and magnetic effect of salt domes and sub-salt structures in the Gulf of Mexico. A number of research problems are investigated at HARC . John Ewing, Yafei Wu, De-hua Han, Walter Kessinger, and Jeno Gazdag.
Students can undertake research in a number of the above areas.
Research facilities at HARC including an NEC SX-4 supercomputer, extensive seismic processing, visualization software as well as rock physics and geochemical laboratories, and ground penetrating radar equipment.
