Seafloor Mappers Delight In Detail

22 years ago

Fugro Survey Ltd and AOAGeophysics Inc have mapped the Cap de Creus canyon head northeast of Barcelona in the Gulf of Lion, acquiring a dataset with a hull-mounted multibeam system. The map data acquired during the summer clearly shows a wide range of active geological processes, from mass wasting and furrows to faults and seefloor seepage, all in unprecedented detail.

The Cap de Creus data are being used to plan the acquisition of additional geophysical data, cores and oceanographic information.
