Abstract | The Adriatic Sea and underlying lithosphere remains the least investigated part of theMediterranean Sea. To shed light on the plate tectonic setting in this central part of southern Europe, R/V METEOR cruise M86/3 set out to acquire deep penetrating seismic data in the Adriatic Sea. M86/3 formed the core of an amphibious investigation crossing Adria from the Italian Peninsula into Montenegro/Albania. Two multibeam systems are available onboard R/V METEOR for bathymetric mapping of theseafloor: a KONGSBERG EM122 for deep-water mapping and a KONGSBERG EM710 for shallow water.We carried out the swath bathymetry survey where seismic reflection data had revealed the presence of a broad anticlinal feature that possibly protruded on the sea floor (Fig. 5.1).Subbottom profiles (PARASOUND) were also acquired in addition to bathymetry. Bathymetry was not the primary focus of the cruise. |
