Purpose High resoloution mapping of small scale sea-bottom morphology, distribution patterns, properties and internal structures of modern sediments and accumulations of free gas in sediments and pockmark structures are of special interest.
Abstract The measurements was performed during transit, at stations and at small grid surveys planned at selected regions. Sea bottom morphology was mapped using the deep sea multibeam echo- sounder Kongsberg EM120 (12kHz).
