| Abstract | The different projects (MOCCHA, MIDDLE, BIOFUN, and en-route carbonate/mudvolcano and (palaeo) oceanography) forming the base for the cruise M83/3, all have their main focus in the same area but with slightly different sites, which permitted the efficient planning of all operations. In addition, the two BIOFUN moorings east of Minorca were recovered. In the BIOFUN bathymetric transect area, alternation of biological sampling and paleoclimate-oriented coring and multi-beam mapping was efficiently done. In the brine lake areas, preparation and analyses of CTD /water column/brine samples was done while coring took place, and vice versa. 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. In the cruise report is a station list of the CTD and the multibeam data. |
