Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS James Cook (740H) cruise JC023B |
|---|---|
| Short name | JC023B |
| Objectives and Narrative | High-resolution active seismic investigations of slump structures and seep sites along the accreationary Chilean continental margin. Ocean-Bottom-Seismometers, multichannel seismic streamer and deep towed sidescan data were acquired using high frequent GI airguns as source. Gravity cores were taken for ground truthing. |
