Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:
Seismic pre-site survey for an IODP site on the Cape Verde Plateau. The IODP pre-proposal ?Neogene Climate of NW Africa' suggests investigating: i) NW African climate in a warmer world, and ii) High productivity ecosystem response to cli-mates different from today. Sediment cores should be retrieved at five locations off NW-Africa. A central site is proposed on the Cape Verde Plateau close to ODP Site 659 but no modern high-resolution seismic data are available for this area. The main goal of Cruise MSM87 is to carry out a seismic pre-site survey for an IODP site on the Cape Verde Plateau. The survey aims in identifying a site where the Plio-Pleistocene is thinner and the Miocene is thicker than at Site 659. This would allow to APC-XCB deeper into the Miocene, which is crucial for retrieving high-quality cores for paleoclimate investigations.
