Objective

The TORE-MADERE cruise was part of the theme-based research study of ocean opening processes and the role of so-called aseismic ridges. The cruise aimed to investigate the structure and the lithology of the Tore-Madeira Rise to the west of Morocco and the Iberian Peninsula. Results from the cruise were to provide indications as to the origin, age, structure of the Tore-Madeira rise as well as the main geodynamic processes involved in its formation. Results were also to shed light on the origin of the Tore seamounts.
