| Abstract | The research area during SO266 is located in the SW off Taiwan. The main focus of the cruise was the investigation of gas hydrate distributions influenced by different tectonic settings (at active and passive margins) and lithologies using the MEBO200 to collect sediment samples. The KONSBERG EM710 was used in addition to the KONGSBERG EM122 to map the continental slope. To avoid signal interferences all used hydroacoustic systems were synchronized using the on-board K-Sync-Unit. During the hydroacoustic surveys the vessel speed was conducted to 11 kn. The data quality was generally good, due to the good signal to noise ratio of the research vessel. |
