Meet the Scientists and Crew! Michael Garcia
Mike joined the University of Hawaii in 1976 after completing his Ph.D. at UCLA. He is a professor in the Dept. of Geology and Geophysics. His research and teaching focuses on field and geochemical aspects of volcanism in Hawaii. He teaches about igneous rocks at the undergraduate and graduate level, scientific paper writing and current events in volcanology. His NSF funded research includes the current eruption at Kilauea volcano, the Hawaii Scientific Drilling Project on the island of Hawaii, giant landslides off Oahu, and rejuvenated volcanism on and around the northern Hawaiian Islands. During his previous cruise using JASON2 remotely operated vehicle, nine new volcanoes were discovered on the flanks of Mauna Loa volcano. It is expected that hundreds of submarine volcanoes will be surveyed during this cruise; many will be visited and sampled by JASON2. http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/FACULTY/garcia/index.html
