browse graphic
EX1206 was added and is now the final cruise of the 2012 season
for Okeanos Explorer (EX). It will be primarily focused on further supplementing
Northeast canyon and continental shelf mapping efforts carried out on EX cruises
EX1106, EX1201, EX1204, and during 2011-2012 by NOAA ships Nancy Foster, Henry
B. Bigelow, and Ferdinand R. Hassler. Multibeam and singlebeam survey,
sub-bottom profiles, and CTD/XBT casts will be performed during the
mission.
