| FR 02/91 [details] |
C. von der Borch (Flinders Univ.) including other PIs | Cruise Fr 02/91 concentrated on a GLORIA sidescan and SEABEAM bathymetry database (collected by HMAS Cook in 1989) encompassing the Beachport Plateau, Sprigg Canyon and surrounds, and the Murray Canyon, South Australia. The cruise was conducted for geoscientific studies. Data and samples collected from this cruise included 59 dredge samples, 10 grab samples, 1 gravity core, 6 attempted piston cores with 2 successes, 10 camera tows, and 19 XBT deployments, 36 bathymetry transects were also run. Most of the data analysis will be carried out onshore by several research groups. |
| FR 03/89 [details] |
C. von der Borch (Flinders Univ.) & V. Gostin (Univ. Adelaide) | Cruise FR 03/89 was undertaken for a geological (Quaternary history) and physical oceanography survey of Gulf St. Vincent and adjacent continental shelf, and also to recover four magnetometers, previously deployed off Robe (cruise FR 01/89) in South Australian waters. Survey methods included high resolution seismic profiles, dredges, vibrocores, sea bottom photographs, XBTs, CTD casts and other associated instrumentation. Approximately 475 nm of seismic line were recorded, three magnetometers were successfully recovered (other presumed lost), and numerous samples including water, biota, sediment and rock fragments were collected for analysis aboard and for laboratory study. |
