Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:
This cruise leg combines activities of the ESF EUROCORES EUROMARGIN project MEDIFLUX and the German 'Geotechnologien' project MUMM II (funded by BMBF/DFG) and investigates the recently discovered seep systems of the deep Nile fan. These consist of numerous fluid-escape structures outcropping in water depths between 500 and 3000 m which include pockmarks, actively gas emitting mud volcanoes, giant brine pools and ancient seep systems. The rising fluids carry hydrocarbons, mostly methane, to the seabed surface, which build the basis for rich and abundant microbial life and diverse chemosynthetic organisms. Gekurzt zu viele Zeichen
