Objective The objectives of this cruise are to collect seismic and geophysical data in order to: 1) understand the geodynamical framework and tectonic evolution of the area between the Australian margin and the New Hebrides arc, 2) determine the distribution and tectonic development of the sedimentary basins and ridges located on the Australian Plate between Australia and New Caledonia. The FAUST2 cruise, following that of FAUST1 aboard the Australian vessel RIG SEISMIC, was the second in the cooperation programme between Ifremer and AGSO, called FAUST (French-Australian Seismic Transect). See the agreement signed by IFREMER and AGSO on 21/10/98 and the special agreement signed on board on 14/12/99 by A. Mauffret, P. Symonds and J.M. Auzende (See Cruise report).
