| Abstract | Cruise SO94 completed a detailed investigation of the Tabar-Lihir-Tanga-Feni island chain in the New Ireland forearc basin of Papua New Guinea. The objectives of this program were to better understand tectonics, petrology, and ore-forming processes in an area of young, alkaline forearc seamounts. Detailed mapping and sampling was carried out in the vicinity of each of the four island groups of the Tabar-Feni chain. Approximately 165 hours of Hydrosweep surveys were conducted in the Tabar-Feni chain, further acquisition information have not been provided. |
