SS 07/2007
(alternative identifier: SS200707)
- is a Marine National Facility voyage
Period: 2007-09-26 07:00 to 2007-10-15 22:00 UTC
Duration: 19.63 days
From: Cairns To: Mackay
Region: Great Barrier Reef Australia
Ship: Southern Surveyor [details]
Description:
Evolution of drowned shelf edge reefs in the GBR: implications for understanding abrupt climate change, coral reef response and modern deep water
benthic habitats.
Scientific Objectives
- To define the ages of the succession of the shelf edge reefs.
- To define the spatial extent and biological composition of such structures.
- To understand their relationship to past sea levels, how they grew and the cause of their demise.
- To define the composition of the biological communities currently using the dead reefs as growth substrates and habitats.
- To establish a complete data set that will encourage international scientific drilling of the reefs.
- To map four study sites along the Queensland margin where the approximate location of submerged reefs is known.
- To conduct seabed optical ground-truthing using high-resolution underwater stereoscopic video as well as a high-resolution multibeam system mounted on a state-of-the-art AUV.
- To collect dredge rock samples from the tops of the shelf edge reefs.
