Objective

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). FAUST2 aimed to study the area located to the south of New Caledonia and off Norfolk Island which belongs to Australia. The scientific theme is the formation of rhombohedral ocean basins and the links with subduction zones. The specific objective of this cruise entailed the multibeam bathymetric and geophysical coverage of the area located east of Norfolk Island, mainly marked by Three Kings ridge and Cook's fracture.
