| Abstract | SO173-2 mapped the continental margin and incoming plate of NW Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala, extending existing coverage from offshore Costa Rica and part of Nicaragua to a full coverage map of about 1200 km long by 100 km wide area along the plate boundary. A full coverage multibeam bathymetric map was obtained along the El Salvador and Guatemala continental slope including a 50-100 km wide swath of the incoming Cocos plate. Tracks were also collected along the continental slope and oceanic plate of Nicaragua to fill gaps left during previous mapping. No other acquisition information have been provided by the responsible party. |
