Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

The study area was the Eratosthenes Seamount(ESM), south of Cyprus. The Eratosthenes Seamount is supposed to represent a continental fragment of the former African-Arabian Plate that is entering the subduction zone south of Cyprus. 4240 km were surveyed with 2D multichannel reflection seismic, magnetics, gravity and bathymetry, and additionally around 490 km with magnetics, gravity and bathymetry, only.
