Scientists and technicians from the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts traveled to the Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) in Santa Cruz, California to learn about their seafloor imaging and sampling instrument—the Benthic Observation camera Sled, or BOBSled.

In collaboration with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Old Dominion University, we are assessing winter hydrological, thermal, and biogeochemical processes occurring in North Atlantic salt marshes across a latitudinal gradient for improved annual estimates of water and organic matter outwelling to the coastal ocean.

A magnitude 7.0 earthquake ruptured the Mendocino Transform Fault offshore Northern California on December 5, 2024. The USGS and colleagues from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Ocean Bottom Seismic Instrument Center deployed our new fleet of rapid response ocean bottom seismographs just 11 days later—the fastest response in U.S. history.
