Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

In the eastern Mediterranean, the Cyprus arc has been the location of subduction of the oceanic edge of the African plate below the Aegean/Anatolian microplate, which itself is squeezed between the larger African and Eurasian plates. But now microcontinental blocks on the oceanic edge of the African plate are beginning to collide with the Aegean/Anatolian microplate, the Cyprus arc is in transition from subduction to continental collision. The working program was designed to unravel the impact of the incipient continent-continent collision on the deep crustal structure, on the Pliocene-Quaternary sediment succession and on the morphostructure of the seabed in the entire study area. In order to image the deep crustal structure we chose a multi-scale approach including wide angle seismic reflections and refractions seismics, gravity magnetics.
