Hi Everyone,
Please join us for a special MPG/SGT seminar on November 25th in the Comer Seminar Room. Dr. Jeffrey Beeson from NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, a short-listed candidate for the observational marine geophysics Lamont Assistant/Associate Research Professor search, will be presenting a talk titled "Unraveling Methane (and Other Fluid) Seepage at the Cascadia Subduction Zone: Insights into Geological and Tectonic Processes."
We hope to see you there!
Best regards,
Lin, Eric, Abhishek, and Andrew

Abstract
Exploring and characterizing the release of methane and other fluids in subduction zones can provide insights into tectonic and structural conditions. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is an ideal location to study methane seepage to better understand marine geological systems, particularly the tectonic and structural controls that influence fluid source, fluid migration pathways and distribution. We use seismic reflection, multibeam bathymetry, and AUV/ROV operations to investigate the spatial distribution, tectonic controls, and geochemical characteristics of methane seeps. These techniques help reveal the connection between methane seeps, tectonic features, and subsurface structures. Our findings also explore the broader geological, biological, and climate implications of these processes.
