OUTLINE
Carrying out marine geology at sea, the role of technology in discovery
Whereas many aspects of Earth’s geology are visible at the surface, and thus open for speculation, in the oceans the seabed is obscured. The history of the subject has therefore involved a series of incremental discoveries as new technology has been developed and then deployed by geologists. This can be seen from the early methods used in mapping routes for telegraph cables across the oceans. Sonar techniques were developed rapidly through World War II and during the Cold War, techniques that turned out to be extremely valuable for revealing the seabed’s morphology and geology.
