| Purpose | |
| Abstract | The main objective of the cruise SO79 was to collect geological, biological and oceanographical data to reconstruct the sedimentary history at the Peru Basin, which may have helped to estimate the environmental impact after a potential module mining operation. Though multibeam has been recorded during the cruise, it was not a major focus and the responsible party provided no acquisition information. |
