Purpose | |
Abstract | The aim of the cruise M62/5 was to determine the volcanological and tectonic nature of the seafloor in a portion of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between 4-11°. They used a ROV, dredges and cores to sample the seafloor and CTD to sample the water column. Though bathymetry data were recorded, it was not the main focus of the cruise and no further information have been provided by the responsible party. |
