Objective 3D imaging of the morphology, structures and stratigraphy of the submarine extension of the Loire river down the 50m isobath (France, Bay of Biscay) and of its paleovalley with shallow water Multibeam echosounder SIMRAD EM 1000 and with Very High Resolution seismic reflection system (sparker). GEOLOIRE is a survey carried out in the framework of the project PRIR COTARMOR of the Britany Region, an INSU-CNRS project "Intérieur de la Terre".
