Le Surell FR1-2003
Cruise summary report
| Cruise Info. | |
| Ship name | Le Surell |
| Cruise identifier | FR1-2003 |
| Cruise period | 2003-11-06 — 2003-11-13 |
| Status | Completed |
| Port of departure | Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, France |
| Port of return | Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, France |
| Purpose | Research |
| Objectives | Bathymetric, EMCM, OBS, pressure sensor and ADCP survey of the Rhône river mouth and prodelta areas. This cruise was the second in a series planned for the Gulf of Lions within Workpackage 1 (Shelf and River input systems) of the European Union FP5 project European Margin Strata Formation (EUROSTRATAFORM) (EVK3-CT-2002-00079)(see also AR1-2003). EUROSTRATAFORM objectives are to explore the fate of sediment particles from their source in rivers through to their deposition on shallow deltas, the continental shelf and deep sea basins. |
