Objective | The works undertaken during the MaRoLiS 2021 cruise aimed at detecting the precursory signs and controlling factors of submarine landslides offshore Nice Aiport, as part of the French-german ANR DFG MODAL project. This implied the deployment of two piezometers to record over several years the fluid pressure and temperature within the upper five meters of sediments. In addition to these classical deployments, two prototypes of instrumented rods (TIPS) each of 50 m long were installed with the Penfeld penetrometer to measure over the same period of time the displacement of sediments along with their fluid pressure and temperature. Two piston cores of about ten meters long were also recovered to analyse the nature of the fluids and the physical properties of sediments as useful parameters to the interpretation of in situ measurements. The MaRoLiS 2021 cruise also contributed to the testing of the Penfeld penetrometer and of the deployment of gas sensors on a CTD/Rosette to prepare the GHASS2 cruise. In addition, as requested by GENAVIR, a survey was carried out to calibrate a gravimeter. |
