Objective | Recovering the ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) deployed during the GROSMARIN cruise conducted from 18 to 27 April 2008 aboard RV l'Atalante. These OBS were brought up in 2 phases, depending on their autonomy. The first six instruments were to be recovered at the end of June, i.e., 2 months after being deployed. The fifteen other instruments were dealt with in the second retrieval phase. This programme's objective were to record seismic shots triggered immediately following the launching, from aboard RV l'Atalante, as well as the natural seismicity during the entire period of deployment for the instruments (2 or 6 months depending on the type of stations). These logs will be used, respectively, to characterize the deep structure of the North-Ligurian margin using tomographic inversion of arrival times and to characterize the seismically active zones in the area. The cruise had two phases: Start date: 29 June (phase 1), 2 Sept. (phase 2) / End dates: 30 June (phase 1), 5 October (phase 2). This falls under the GROSMARIN project. |
