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). |
