Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS James Clark Ross (74JC) cruise JR20070418 (JR167, JR168) |
|---|---|
| Short name | JR20070418 (JR167, JR168) |
| Objectives and Narrative |
Cruise JR168 was undertaken as part of the Geological Sciences Division (BAS)
Long Term Monitoring and Survey (LTMS) programme of work in the Scotia Sea area. The main aim of the survey was to map the underwater portion of the northern sector of the South Sandwich arc using EM120 multi beam (swath) bathymetry, to provide a base map for further geological and multidisciplinary research. As the cruise was joined with a Biological Sciences LTMS cruise (JR167) in the South Georgia area, an additional aim was to collect swath data opportunistically in the South Georgia area as well. The northern sector of the South Sandwich arc was chosen because of its proximity to South Georgia, minimising transit time. Cruise JR167, a biology cruise, involved mooring work and western core box acoustics around South Georgia. |
