| Abstract | The investigation of submarine hydrothermal systems in the Tyrrhenian Sea is generally aimed at a better understanding of the formation of submarine mineral deposits in island arcs where the shallow water depth (usually < 1000 m) and the influence of the subducting plate result in enrichments of gases, precious metals as well as abundant toxic elements at the seafloor. This cruise aimed at at a detailed mapping of known seafloor hydrothermal systems in an island arc setting using the autonomous underwater vehicle AUV .ABYSS. During METEOR cruise M86/4 approximately 117 hours and 1200 line km of multi beam data was collected. During RV METEOR cruise M86/4 extensive multibeam mapping was carried out with hull mounted EM122 and EM710 echo sounder systems provided by Kongsberg Maritime AS. |
