Ross Parnell-Turner is a marine geophysics at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who gained a Ph.D from the Bullard Laboratories, University of Cambridge in 2014. After a postdoc at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, he joined Scripps in summer 2018. Parnell-Turner’s research concerns how oceanic lithosphere is created and deformed, based on geophysical and geological observations using seismology, submersibles and scientific ocean drilling at mid-ocean ridges and their flanks.
