Projects and Initiatives

In summer 2008 we conducted the first multi-streamer Multi-Channel Seismic program of Lamont’s new national marine seismic facility, the R/V Langseth.

Our 4D seimic monitoring technique gives a volumetric 3D view of the drainage within each reservoir over time.

The U.S. National Science Foundation has agreed to support the development of a next-generation gravity map of Antarctica (ADGRAV - Antarctic Digital Gravity Synthesis).

Scientists from several nations are working together to launch a flagship program to explore a major mountain range buried by a large continental ice sheet and bounded by numerous subglacial lakes.

This project is the continued analysis of seismic data collected on a 4x4 km array of ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) deployed at the Ridge 2000 Integrated Study Site at 9°50'N on the East Pacific R

The Antarctic and Southern Ocean Data Portal provides access to geoscience data, primarily marine, from the Antarctic region.

The Borehole Research Group (BRG) uses downhole geophysical measurements in a wide variety of scientific investigations including sea level variations, paleoceanography, flow of fluids through frac

This projects aims to calibrate the seismic sources to be used by the R/V Marcus Langseth to better understand and quantify the safety radii that should be used for permitting purposes when conduct

Oceanic Volcanic Plateaus are a submarine form of Large Igneous Provinces.

Using geophysical instruments, GAMBIT will peal back more than 600 meters of ice to explore the last hidden mountain range on Earth.

The Center for River and Estuaries is an association of scientists from Columbia University that study various aspects of rivers and estuaries world wide including the distribution of sediments, th

 The Ice Sheets at both poles are changing - shrinking at increasing rates - rates that are faster than was ever expected by scientists.

Wireline logs were acquired at seven sites in the Newark Rift basin using dipmeter, gamma ray, resistivity, ve

In October 2009, a giant NASA DC-8 aircraft was loaded with geophysical instruments and scientists will buzz at low level over the coasts of West Antarctica, where ice sheets are collapsing at a pa

Underwater acoustic studies related to undersea earthquakes, marine mammals, Antarctic ice-sheets, ocean noise and explosion monitoring.

PetDB archives and serves analytical data for whole rocks, glasses, minerals, melt inclusions, with emphasis on basalts and abyssal peridotites.

PETRO is the new oil and gas division of Lamont's corporate affiliates program.

Methodology for simulating basin stratigraphy and structure.

Mutibeam Bathymetry data from the global Mid-Ocean Ridge with access to related data.

Welcome to the presense of the SCAMP component of the SCICEX program on the World Wide Web. An underway geophysical survey from nuclear submarines in the Arctic.

SCICEX was a 5 year program (1995-1999) in which the Navy has made available a Sturgeon-class, nuclear powered, attack submarine for unclassified science cruises to the Arctic Ocean.

SedDB complements current geological data systems (PetDB, EarthChem, NavDat and GEOROC) with an integrated compilation of geochemistry of marine

Access to marine seismic reflection images, navigation, acquisition parameters and field data.

 This project is a collaboration between several US and Turkish research institutes to study the tectonics of the Marmara Sea.

Virtual Ocean integrates the GeoMapApp tool suite and the NASA World Wind 3-D

An airborne geophysical program over West Antarctica was designed to study the linkage between the West Antarctic Rift System and the dynamic evolution of the overlying West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
