Our Ocean Bottom Seismology (OBS) Laboratory develops and operates cutting-edge instrumentation for measuring deformation of the ocean floor in a variety of experimental settings. One of our primary efforts is to operate a component of the National Science Foundation's OBS Instrumentation Pool (OBSIP), in cooperation with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The Lamont OBSIP facility supplies the national and international scientific community with unique broadband ocean bottom seismometers capable of very long deployments at sea.
