| Abstract | SO234/1 was a training and capacity building cruise for students from southern Africa and Germany. Scientifically SO234/1 continued geological studies of the temporal and geochemical evolution of the Walvis Ridge conducted on the precursor SO233 expedition and was broadened by biological studies by the University of Tubingen, which aimed to get a better understanding of the adaptations of visual systems in mesopelagic animals to bioluminescence. Though multibeam has been recorded during the cruise, it was not a major focus and the responsible party provided no acquisition information. |
