Purpose
Abstract The primary objective of M142 was to drill into the gas hydrate accumulations in the Danube pa-leodelta of the Black Sea with the mobile drilling device MeBo200 of MARUM. The swath width of the EM710 was set to 120°, partly up to 130°. The data quality is affected by the unstable weather conditions during the cruise, particularly the eastern side of the mapped area.
