On this Expedition:
I work in the petrology group. Petrologists work in detail with the classification and analysis of rocks and changes or alterations to rocks. On the Revelle, we have scientists from the UK, from the States, from Portugal, from India and from South Africa. Our group works in shifts almost 24 hours a day and also stands watches with the geophysicists.
About myself:
I am an Indian student currently working for my PhD program in Geochemistry at National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Florida State University. I have always enjoyed photography and traveling. This wanderlust in me has driven me from one place to another. Since my childhood I have always moved due West. I started in the Eastern part of India before going to the Western part of India. Now I am on the East Coast of the USA, which is exactly opposite to the Earth's motion! When I return to the USA via the West Coast, I will have completed a circular tour around the world.
For Students:
Two-thirds of our Mother Earth is covered by water. So we should have two-thirds of our scientists studying about the sea. The sea is beautiful and mysterious. Our poets have appreciated her beauty for ages; now it is time for the scientists to unveil her mysteries.
