Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:
The R/V SONNE cruise was dedicated to interdisciplinary work in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) on near-surface-gas hydrate. During the first leg the ship operated in the northern GOM along the continental slope of Texas in several lease blocks of the Green Canyon Area. After a mid-leg stop in the harbour of Corpus Christi (24-26 October) the R/V SONNE worked for the first time in the southern GOM, Mexican waters, in the area of the Sigsbee Knolls, northern Campeche Knolls and on the Yucatan shelf. Additional sampling work in some areas of the Green Canyon completed the scientific program in the northern Gulf.
