| Objectives and Narrative |
Objectives
Collect EM1002 multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data, carry out on-board processing and use interpreted mosaics to identify variations in seafloor geology and morphology. Using these interpretations as a guide to distinguish variations in benthic habitat, when required, additional high resolution sidescan sonar transects would be run, and, in areas of interest, seafloor photograph and video imagery collected. Narrative This was a highly successful cruise with all cruise objectives achieved. New erosive landforms were imaged over both George Bligh and the northern Hatton Bank, and numerous areas of rock outcrop mapped with multibeam and proved by photography to be reef. The epifauna were typical of could be expected of deep water oceanic areas, with encrusting sponges and corals over outcrop and other types of hard substrate, including pebbles on sands. |
