Research at UH Manoa
Fernando is a marine geophysicist whose research centers on understanding rifting and seafloor spreading processes. he’s worked in backarc basins, mid-ocean ridges, and areas undergoing rift-to-spreading transitions. Fernando will share the various methods including multibeam, side-scan sonar, geophysical mapping and heat flow measurements broadly aimed at understanding tectonics processes and the geologic evolution these areas.
