The cruise was part of the Centre of Excellence for Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate (CAGE) at UiT – The Arctic University of Norway. It was partly supported by The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD). The cruise had the following scientific objectives: To do a seismic survey in areas with identified seepage sites in Storbanken to study the mechanisms controlling near-surface migration and seepage.To complement the cross-disciplinary data repository by CAGE in this area.To search for seafloor seepage sites based on regional structural features (e.g., fault lineaments, glaci-tectonic features) The cruise may be known as: CAGE18_1
