Type of Activity: Bottom Photography
Bottom resistivity profiling (WHOI)

Information to be derived: Sea floor map
bottom imagery to investigate benthic distribution and gas hydrate
electrical resistivity profiles across mounds and at drilling transects

Summary: This was a successful cruise with 5973 bottom images collected on four tows; the EM data fulfilled the objective of showing proof of concept for the system (17 km on 9 lines).
