| Abstract | Volcanic hotspots beneath the ocean have created chains of underwater volcanoes and islands over millions of years. This project will study seamounts near the Ontong Java Plateau, the largest volcanic structure on Earth, to improve understanding of how heat and material move from deep within the Earth to the surface and shape our planet over time. Early-career scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate students will take part in the cruise. In port, the science team will lead ship tours fo |
