Today Qunshu Tang has left Durham and returned to China. Tang's one year visit to Durham to study seismic oceanography was sponsored by the China Scholarship Council. During his stay we developed a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to model the temperature and salinity of the ocean given a seismic reflection image (2 papers submitted). He also had the opportunity to join the OSCAR cruise (JC114) and has processed the seismic images of the water structure in the Panama Basin. He plans to continue this work on his return to the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology in Guangzhou and integrate his results with other data from the OSCAR cruises. Bon voyage!
