WELCOME TO THE EXPEDITION!

WE ARE A TEAM OF SCIENTISTS SET OUT TO IMAGE THE 3D INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF AXIAL VOLCANO IN THE NE PACIFIC OCEAN.

Please follow our updates and social media, get to know our scientists, and learn about this fascinating deep-sea volcanic system!

Thanks for joining us, the Axial3D Team!

Science Party

MEET THE SCIENCE PARTY!

FIELD TRIP!

Here we are assembled for a last minute pre-cruise field trip to Mount Rainier National Park. (Left to right: Sam, Axelle, Massimo, Morgane, Tanner, Michelle, Steffen, Victoire, Annie, Adrien, Matthew, Brian, Shelby)
It was the perfect day for a hike up Seattle's local volcanic neighbour where we had some sighting of deer, marmots and lots of chipmunks! It was nice to experience some geology on-land before we ship out for 5 weeks at sea.
