Depart Bridgetown, Barbados on Voyage #210-05. Upon completion of science activities, the vessel shall call upon the port of Woods Hole, MA on or about 19 June 2013. The science objectives of this cruise will include understanding the processes controlling the formation, evolution and linking of mid-segment detachment faults, and to examine the relationship between magma supply along the ridge axis and detachment fault formation. The scientific plan will be to obtain regional multibeam bathymetry and magnetic data to understand the spreading history out to 5 Ma. High-resolution multibeam bathymetry, magnetic, CTD and optical sensor data will be collected from the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Sentry, and photographs from the WHOI TowCam. There will also be an extensive dredging operation.
Image Of the Day caption:
R/V Knorr Bosun Peter Liarikos and Shipboard Scientific Services Group technician Amy Simoneau release a catch of rock specimens collected with a dredge near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Scientists on the ship also gathered data using multibeam bathymetry, magnetic and optical sensors, and CTDs on the autonomous underwater vehicle Sentry; and cameras on the WHOI TowCam. Their goal was to better understand the formation and evolution of detachment faults and how those faults relate to the supply of magma along the ridge axis.
