| Abstract | The Adriatic Sea and underlying lithosphere remains the least investigated part of the Mediterranean 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 the seafloor: 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. |
