Purpose | |
Abstract | Central objective of the cruise M84/1 was the sampling of sediment and suspended particulate material from locations with extremely different environmental conditions. These samples will be used to constrain factors that influence the distribution of benthic archaea in marine sediments and thus determine their role in the marine carbon cycle. Though multibeam data was recorded, it was not the main focus of the cruise and no further information have been provided by the responsible party. |
