Geophysics (Nakanishi) Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that reads seafloor topography and geomagnetism to uncover how oceanic plates form.
AboutAbout the lab
How did the oceanic plates come to be?
Prof. Nakanishi's lab studies how oceanic plates and oceanic crust form and develop.
The lab focuses on magmatic activity of various scales, from petit-spots to large oceanic plateaus.
The lab takes part in research cruises to collect data such as seafloor topography, geomagnetism, and gravity.
The main study areas are the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and the lab also conducts joint research with researchers overseas.
Key terms
- Oceanic Plateau
- Oceanic plateau: a plateau-like landform on the seafloor that rises higher than its surroundings
- Petit-spot
- Petit-spot: small-scale volcanic activity on the seafloor that occurs where a plate bends
- Mid-Ocean Ridge
- Mid-ocean ridge: a long, continuous elevated chain running along the seafloor, where new plates are born
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies how oceanic plates and oceanic crust form and how they have developed. It takes part in research cruises to collect seafloor topography, geomagnetic, and gravity data, with the Pacific and Indian Oceans as its main study areas.
