Purpose
Abstract The BalTec-expedition aimed at the gapless imaging of these fault systems from the seafloor down to the Paleozoic basement. In order to get detailed information about the seafloor morphology of the study area, the seafloor was surveyed by a SIMRAD EM122 echo sounder system. Generally, the system was acquiring data throughout the entire cruise.
