| Purpose | |
| Abstract | Main target of M65/2 is to develop sedimentary and evolutionary models for the sedimentation dynamics off NW-Africa and to establish quantitative sediment budgets in relation to climate controlled variable sediment supply. The hydroacoustic systems of RV METEOR were used during the entire cruise to study near surface features, e.g. slides, canyons and drift bodies.Though multibeam data was recorded, it was not the main focus of the cruise and no further information have been provided by the responsible party. |
