supports geology and geophysics research (e.g., structure, tectonics,
volcanism, sedimentary processes, seawater or ocean rock geochemistry)
on the ocean basins and margins, as well as the Great Lakes. It also covers
interactions of continental and marine geologic processes. Important
components of the MG&G program include (1) the Ridge InterDisciplinary Global Experiments, physical, chemical, and biological
interactions between the midocean ridge volcanic system and the ocean
environment, and (2) MARGINS (Continental Margins Research) (see
Box A.2 ). Finally, the Coastal Ocean Processes Program supports
research on the physical and meteorological processes that affect
biological productivity, sedimentary processes, and chemical
transformations in the coastal ocean system.
