Objective

The BATHYSAINTES cruise was proposed in the framework of the ANR Telluric disasters SUBSIMANTI project following the destructive earthquake which occurred near the Saintes islands in November 2004 and the related tsunami. It followed on from the AGUADOMAR (1999), CARAVAL (2002) and GWADASEIS (2009) cruises whose aim is to better delimit the seismic, volcanic and tsunami hazards in the Lesser Antilles arc area. The BATHYSAINTES cruise's main objective is to acquire high resolution multibeam bathymetric data on the Saintes plateau (depths between 0 and 200 m) enabling the transition to be made between Les Saintes islands and the existing surveys from deeper zones. It involved collaborative work between IPG Paris and SHOM. The related project is SUBSISMANTI, within ANR CATELL.
