This 2011 R/V Langseth survey of the Bering Sea was part of the U.S Extended Continental Shelf Project (http://continentalshelf.gov/) to establish the full extent of the U.S. continental shelf, consistent with international law. This particular leg used marine geophysics, collecting MCS and OBS data, in the Bering Sea for the purpose of determining geologic framework, crustal nature and sediment thickness within and beyond the U.S. EEZ, from 2000m isobath (approx.) to 350 nm from the territorial baselines. Funded by the U.S.G.S. ...
