Temperature and Salinity Inverted for a Mediterranean Eddy Captured With Seismic Data, Using a Spatially Iterative Markov Chain Monte Carlo Approach (2021)
Journal Article
Xiao, W., Sheen, K. L., Tang, Q., Shutler, J., Hobbs, R., & Ehmen, T. (2021). Temperature and Salinity Inverted for a Mediterranean Eddy Captured With Seismic Data, Using a Spatially Iterative Markov Chain Monte Carlo Approach. Frontiers in Marine Science, 8, Article 734125. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2021.734125

Ocean submesoscale dynamics are thought to play a key role in both the climate system and ocean productivity, however, subsurface observations at these scales remain rare. Seismic oceanography, an established acoustic imaging method, provides a uniqu...

Local rift and intraplate seismicity reveal shallow crustal fluid-related activity and sub-crustal faulting (2021)
Journal Article
Tary, J., Hobbs, R., Peirce, C., Lesmes Lesmes, C., & Funnell, M. (2021). Local rift and intraplate seismicity reveal shallow crustal fluid-related activity and sub-crustal faulting. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 562, Article 116857. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2021.116857

Seismicity delineating the mid-ocean ridge system in the Panama Basin is mostly concentrated along transform offsets. Most intraplate areas show little-to-no seismic activity. Here we analyze passive recordings from a short-term deployment of 75 ocea...

Contourite processes associated with the overflow of Pacific Deep Water within the Luzon Trough: Conceptual and regional implications (2021)
Journal Article
Yin, S., Javier Hernández-Molina, F., Hobbs, R., Gao, J., Ding, W., Yang, C., …Li, J. (2021). Contourite processes associated with the overflow of Pacific Deep Water within the Luzon Trough: Conceptual and regional implications. Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 170, Article 103459. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr.2020.103459

Overflows through oceanic gateways govern the exchange of water masses in the world's ocean basins. These exchanges also involve energy, salinity, nutrients, and carbon. As such, the physical features that control overflow can exert a strong influenc...
